Bafama Triple Action Cream 30g
Bafama Triple Action Cream is a powerful medicated treatment widely used in Nigeria for various inflammatory skin conditions involving fungal or bacterial infections. This cream is formulated to provide fast relief from itching, swelling, and redness while treating the underlying cause of the infection.
What is Bafama Triple Action Cream used for?
Bafama is primarily indicated for the management of:
- Fungal Infections: Effective for ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete's foot, and candidiasis (often referred to locally as part of "toilet infection" symptoms).
- Bacterial Skin Infections: Helps eliminate bacteria in secondarily infected skin wounds or rashes.
- Inflammatory Conditions: Provides sharp relief for eczema, psoriasis, and various types of dermatitis.
Triple Action Formula
The cream combines three active ingredients for comprehensive treatment:
- Clotrimazole (1% w/w): A broad-spectrum antifungal that stops the growth of fungi.
- Neomycin Sulphate (0.5% w/w): An antibiotic that kills bacteria and prevents secondary infections.
- Betamethasone Dipropionate (0.05% w/w): A strong corticosteroid that rapidly reduces inflammation, swelling, and the "pepperish" sensation of itching.
How to Use Bafama Cream
- Clean the Area: Wash the affected skin and dry it thoroughly.
- Apply Thinly: Gently rub a small amount onto the affected area 2 to 3 times daily.
- Duration: Use for the full duration prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist, even if symptoms clear up quickly.
Important Precautions
- For External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes or mouth.
- Avoid Long-term Use: Do not use on large areas of the body or for extended periods (especially on the face) without medical supervision, as it can cause skin thinning.
- Pregnancy: Consult your GoMed pharmacist before use if you are pregnant.
