Biocoten Cream 20g: Triple Action Relief for Skin Infections

Biocoten Cream is a highly effective, triple-action dermatological treatment manufactured by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals in Nigeria. It is specifically formulated to tackle skin conditions where inflammation, fungal growth, and bacterial infection occur at the same time.

Why Choose Biocoten Cream?

Biocoten combines three powerful active ingredients to provide comprehensive relief:

• Clotrimazole (1.0%): A potent antifungal that stops the growth of fungi causing ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch.
• Gentamicin Sulfate (0.1%): A broad-spectrum antibiotic that treats bacterial skin infections.
• Dexamethasone Acetate (0.04%): A corticosteroid that quickly reduces redness, swelling, and the intense itching associated with skin irritation.

Common Uses in Nigeria

Biocoten is widely used for:

• Eczema and Dermatitis: Soothing inflamed and itchy skin patches.
• Fungal Infections: Effective against ringworm (tinea), athlete's foot, and "toilet infections" (candidiasis).
• Mixed Infections: Used when a skin rash is complicated by both bacteria and fungi.

How to Apply

Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer of Biocoten Cream twice daily. Continue use as directed by your healthcare professional. If you have questions about how long to use it, you can chat with a GoMed pharmacist for expert advice.

Safety and Side Effects

Because it contains a steroid (Dexamethasone), Biocoten should be used with caution:

• Face Use: Avoid applying to the face for long periods unless prescribed, as it can thin the skin.
• Bleaching: Biocoten is not a bleaching cream and should not be used for skin lightening.
• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor or GoMed pharmacist before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
