Характеристики продукта

NAME AND STRENGTH OF ACTIVE SUBSTANCES : Clotrimazole 1% w/w and
Hydrocortisone 1% w/w.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION : A white cream.

PHARMACODYNAMICS
:
Clotrimazole
is
a
broad-spectrum
imidazole
with
potent
anti-fungal
against
dermatophytes, including Epidermophytes, Microsporum, Trichophyton
spp. and Malassezia furfur, and Candida
species. It permeates the chitin of the fungal cell wall and increases
the membrane permeability to various
intracellular substances. Hydrocortisone is a topically active
corticosteroid which has potent anti-inflammatory,
anti-pruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions.
PHARMACOKINETICS :When applied topically, clotrimazole penetrates the
epidermis but there is little if any
systemic absorption. It is metabolized in the liver to inactive
compounds and excreted in the faeces and urine. When
hydrocortisone is administered topically, particularly under occlusive
dressings or when the skin is broken, sufficient
corticosteroid may be absorbed to give systemic effects.
Corticosteroids are extensively bound to plasma proteins.
Only unbound corticosteroid has pharmacological effects or is
metabolized. They are metabolized in the liver and
tissues, and the metabolites are excreted in the urine.
INDICATIONS : For the topical treatment of fungal and candidal
infections, when these are accompanied by
pronounced inflammatory symptoms and itching.
CONTRAINDICATIONS : Hypersensitivity to Clotrimazole, Hydrocortisone
or any component in the base. The use of
corticosteroid is contraindicated in most viral infections of the skin
and also tuberculosis and acne rosacea.
ADVERSE EFFECTS : Infrequent local adverse effects of Clotrimazole and
Hydrocortisone include stinging, burning,
oedema, desquamation, pruritus, and urticaria. Systemic adverse
reactions, such as vision blurred, have also been
reported with the use of topical corticosteroids.
