Biocoten Cream 20g: Triple Action Relief for Skin Infections

Biocoten Cream is a potent, triple-action dermatological preparation manufactured in Nigeria by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals. It is specifically formulated to treat inflammatory skin disorders where fungal or bacterial infections are present or suspected.

What is Biocoten Cream Used For?

Biocoten is a "Triple Action" cream because it combines three active ingredients to provide comprehensive relief:

  • Clotrimazole (1.0%): An antifungal agent that treats infections like ringworm, athlete's foot, and candidiasis (often referred to locally as "toilet infection").
  • Gentamicin Sulfate (0.1%): A broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets bacterial skin infections.
  • Dexamethasone Acetate (0.04%): A mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and the intense itching associated with skin irritation.

Common Indications

  • Eczema and Dermatitis: Soothes inflamed, itchy, and scaly skin patches.
  • Fungal Infections: Effective against tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), and jock itch.
  • Mixed Infections: Ideal for rashes that show signs of both redness/swelling and infection.

Safety Information & Cautions

  • Face and Pimples: Biocoten should NOT be used as a routine face cream or for treating pimples/acne. Long-term use of steroids on the face can cause skin thinning.
  • Not a Bleaching Cream: Biocoten is a medicated cream and does not contain skin-lightening or bleaching agents.
  • Never for Eye Use: This cream is for topical skin application only. Do not apply near the eyes, as it can cause serious damage.
  • Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a GoMed pharmacist before using this medication.

How to Apply

Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin film of Biocoten Cream 20g twice daily (morning and evening). Do not use for more than 14 days unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Expert Advice

If you are unsure if Biocoten is right for your skin condition, you can chat with a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
