Triamcinolone + Neomycin + Nystatin + Gramicidin

Triamcinolone acetonide is a potent fluorinated corticosteroid with rapid anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and anti-allergic actions. In this combination it sits alongside two antibiotics, Neomycin and Gramicidin. Together they give antibacterial cover against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including the micro-organisms responsible for most bacterial skin infections. Nystatin is an antifungal agent, active against many yeast-like fungi, including Candida albicans. The Triamcinolone, Neomycin, Nystatin and Gramicidin combination is used topically for superficial bacterial infections and cutaneous candidosis. It is also used for dermatological conditions known to respond to topical steroid therapy when they are threatened or complicated by bacterial or candidal superinfections. These include atopic eczema, contact eczema, follicular eczema, infantile eczema, otitis externa, anogenital pruritus (pruritus ani et vulvae), nummular eczema, post-traumatic infective eczema, seborrhoeic or flexural eczema, neurodermatitis and psoriasis.
