Tribotan Adult Cream 20g
Tribotan Adult Cream is a multi-action topical dermatological treatment manufactured by Fidson Healthcare PLC in Nigeria. It is formulated to provide relief and treatment for various skin conditions caused by fungal and bacterial infections.
What is Tribotan Adult Cream Used For?
Tribotan Adult Cream is highly effective for a range of skin issues, including:
- Fungal Infections: Effective against ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete's foot (tinea pedis), and fungal nappy rash.
- Eczema and Dermatitis: Helps soothe inflammation and irritation associated with eczema.
- Itching and Prickly Heat: Provides cooling relief from skin itching and heat-related rashes.
- Minor Skin Irritations: Can be used for small cuts, burns, and abrasions due to its antiseptic properties.
How It Works
The cream contains a blend of active ingredients designed to combat infection and soothe the skin:
- Clotrimazole (1%): A powerful antifungal agent that stops the growth of fungi.
- Zinc Oxide (5%): Provides a protective barrier and helps soothe irritated skin.
- Boric Acid (1%): Acts as a mild antiseptic to prevent bacterial growth.
- Menthol (1%): Delivers a cooling sensation to relieve itching.
- Ichthammol (0.2%): Known for its anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties.
Is Tribotan a Steroid?
No, Tribotan Adult Cream is a non-steroidal preparation. Unlike many "triple-action" creams that contain corticosteroids like Betamethasone, Tribotan relies on its antifungal and antiseptic ingredients for effectiveness. This makes it suitable for conditions where steroids should be avoided.
How to Use Tribotan 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 application. If symptoms persist after two weeks of use, it is recommended to consult a GoMed pharmacist or your healthcare provider.
Storage
Store the tube in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep out of reach of children and protect from direct sunlight.
