Quadriclear Cream 30g: Quadruple Action Relief for Skin Infections

Quadriclear Cream is a multi-action topical medication used in Nigeria to manage various skin conditions that involve inflammation, bacteria, and fungi. It is commonly referred to as a "quadruple action" cream because it combines four potent ingredients to provide broad-spectrum relief.

What is Quadriclear Cream Used For?

Quadriclear is formulated to treat mixed skin infections where itching, swelling, and redness are present. Its primary uses include:

• Eczema and Dermatitis: Reduces inflammation and allergic skin reactions.
• Fungal Infections: Effective against ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete's foot (tinea pedis), and candidiasis.
• Bacterial Infections: Contains antibiotics to treat secondary skin infections caused by bacteria.
• Local Irritations: Often used for relief from persistent rashes sometimes called "toilet infections" in Nigeria.

Active Ingredients

The effectiveness of Quadriclear comes from its four-way formula:

• Betamethasone Dipropionate (0.05%): A corticosteroid that helps reduce swelling and redness.
• Gentamicin Sulphate (0.1%): An antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria.
• Tolnaftate (1.0%): An antifungal agent that targets common skin fungi.
• Clioquinol (1.0%): Provides additional antimicrobial and antifungal protection.

How to Apply Quadriclear Cream

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before use. While symptoms like itching may improve within 48 hours, continue the treatment as directed by your pharmacist to ensure the infection is fully resolved.

Safety Precautions

• Avoid the Face: Do not use this cream on your face unless specifically instructed by a doctor, as the steroid component can lead to skin thinning.
• Not for Bleaching: This is a medicated treatment, not a cosmetic product. It should not be used for skin lightening.
• Acne and Pimples: Using Quadriclear on pimples can sometimes make the condition worse due to the steroid content.

If you have persistent skin issues, it is best to consult a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
