Quadriclear Cream 30g: Quadruple Action Relief for Skin Infections
Quadriclear Cream is a potent, multi-action medicated cream used in Nigeria to treat various inflammatory, bacterial, and fungal skin conditions. Often called a "quadruple action" cream, it combines four active ingredients to provide broad-spectrum relief from skin irritations and infections.
What is Quadriclear Cream used for?
Quadriclear Cream is primarily formulated to manage itching, redness, and swelling. It is effective for:
- Fungal Infections: Treats ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete's foot (tinea pedis), and other fungal issues.
- Bacterial Infections: Contains antibiotics to address secondary bacterial skin infections.
- Dermatitis & Eczema: Reduces inflammation from atopic or contact dermatitis.
- General Irritations: Often used for persistent rashes sometimes referred to as "toilet infections" in Nigeria.
Active Ingredients
- Betamethasone Dipropionate (0.05%): A corticosteroid that reduces swelling and redness.
- Gentamicin Sulfate (0.1%): An antibiotic that fights bacterial growth.
- Tolnaftate (1.0%) & Clioquinol (1.0%): Antifungal agents that target infection-causing fungi.
How to Use Quadriclear Cream
Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. For fungal infections, continue use for the full recommended duration even if symptoms improve.
Precautions & Side Effects
- Not for Bleaching: Quadriclear is a medicated treatment and should not be used for skin lightening or bleaching.
- Face & Private Parts: Avoid using on the face or sensitive areas like private parts unless specifically instructed by a doctor, as the steroid component can cause skin thinning.
- Acne/Pimples: While it contains antibiotics, the steroid can worsen acne. Consult a pharmacist before using for pimples.
