ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Clioquinol,
the
antimicrobial
component
of
VIOFORM
HYDROCORTISONE
(clioquinol/
hydrocortisone), is active against a broad spectrum of pathogenic
microorganisms, including
fungi
(e.g., Candida,
Microsporum,
Trichophyton)
and
gram-positive
bacteria
(e.g., Staphylococci). Clioquinol has only a slight inhibitory effect
on gram-negative bacteria.
Clioquinol exerts a bacteriostatic, rather than a bactericidal action.
Hydrocortisone
is
a
mild
glucocorticoid
with
an
anti-inflammatory,
anti-allergic
and
vasoconstrictive effect. In inflammatory skin diseases of widely
varying type and origin it
affords prompt relief and eliminates symptoms such as pruritus.
VIOFORM
HYDROCORTISONE
combines
the
antifungal
and
antibacterial
actions
of
clioquinol with the anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects of
hydrocortisone for broad control
of acute and chronic dermatologic disorders.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-pruritic,
anti-itch.
For temporary relief of:

minor skin irritations associated with redness, itching, dryness and
scaling

minor skin irritations, rashes, itching and redness due to eczema,
insect bites, poison ivy,
poison oak, poison sumac, contact dermatitis (e.g. caused by soaps,
detergents, cosmetics
and/or jewellery), seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis.
