Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1%

Pevitin 15 Cream is a combination medication that includes Econazole Nitrate and Triamcinolone Acetonide, formulated for treating various fungal skin infections with inflammation. Econazole Nitrate combats fungal infections, while Triamcinolone Acetonide alleviates inflammation and itching.

Benefits:

This cream effectively treats fungal infections, reduces inflammation, relieves itching, and helps in healing skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Ingredients:

Econazole Nitrate 1%, Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1%

Uses and Doses:

Pevitin 15 Cream is applied sparingly to the affected skin area twice daily—morning and evening. It should not be used for more than two weeks or over large body areas. For onychomycoses, it is recommended alongside oral antifungals.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include mild itching, redness, and local discomfort. Prolonged use can result in adrenal suppression, especially in children, or skin thinning and atrophy.

How to Use:

Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily. Do not cover with an occlusive dressing or apply to large skin areas. Discontinue if hypersensitivity occurs.

Pregnancy & Lactation:

Triamcinolone may cross the placenta, potentially affecting fetal development. Avoid using during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. It is excreted in small amounts in breast milk, so breastfeeding should be stopped during treatment.

Precautions and Warnings:

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes or ingestion. Prolonged use may cause systemic effects like adrenal suppression, especially when applied to large areas or under occlusion. Discontinue if any irritation or hypersensitivity develops.

Safety Information:

• Not for ophthalmic or oral use
• Monitor for systemic absorption in prolonged use
• Avoid using in children for more than 2 weeks
• May cause blurred vision or other visual disturbances

Indications:

Indicated for the treatment of eczematous mycoses, psoriasis, athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, inflammatory intertrigo, diaper dermatitis, and onychomycoses (with oral antifungal support).

Pharmacology:

Econazole disrupts fungal cell membrane permeability, interfering with RNA and protein synthesis. Triamcinolone reduces inflammation by suppressing immune cell activity and decreasing capillary permeability.

Therapeutic Class:

Triamcinolone & Combined preparations

Storage Conditions:

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from light and out of reach of children.
