Funbact-A Triple Action Cream (30g) is a widely used medicated "yellow tube" cream in Nigeria. It is formulated to provide fast relief from inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial or fungal infections.
What is Funbact-A Cream Used For?
This cream is a "triple action" formula, combining three active ingredients to treat a variety of skin issues:
- Fungal Infections: Effective against ringworm (Tinea), athlete's foot, and other skin fungi.
- Bacterial Infections: Helps clear secondary infections caused by bacteria.
- Inflammation & Itching: Reduces redness and the "pepperish" burning sensation associated with eczema and dermatitis.
Key Ingredients
The effectiveness of Funbact-A comes from its balanced combination of:
- Betamethasone Dipropionate (0.05%): A potent corticosteroid for swelling and itching.
- Clotrimazole (1.0%): A broad-spectrum antifungal.
- Neomycin Sulfate (0.5%): An antibiotic to combat skin bacteria.
How to Use Funbact-A
Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily. It is a potent medication and should not be used for more than 7 consecutive days. If symptoms persist, contact a GoMed pharmacist for advice.
Important Safety Warnings
- Face & Pimples: Many people ask "can I use Funbact-A for pimples?". While it may reduce redness, it is NOT an acne cream. Using it on the face can cause skin thinning or "steroid acne."
- Bleaching/Lightening: This product is NOT a lightening cream. Misuse for skin bleaching can lead to permanent damage and stretch marks.
- Pregnancy: Consult a healthcare professional before using this cream during pregnancy.
How long does it take to work? Most users notice relief from itching within 24-48 hours, but full clearance of infections may take a few days of consistent application.
