About this item
Biocoten is formulated to address skin conditions that are either infected or at risk of infection. It is particularly useful for "weeping" or inflamed skin rashes that haven't responded to simple creams. The cream base is designed to be easily absorbed, delivering the active ingredients deep into the skin layers to provide fast symptomatic relief and targeted healing.
Application Instructions
- Cleanse: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and water, then pat dry thoroughly. Fungi thrive in moist environments.
- Apply: Use a small amount of cream (usually a "fingertip unit") and apply a thin film over the affected area and a small portion of the surrounding healthy skin.
- Frequency: Apply 2 to 3 times daily, or as specifically directed by your healthcare professional.
- Wash Hands: Always wash your hands immediately after application (unless your hands are the area being treated) to prevent spreading the infection.
Proper Usage Tips
- Duration: Even if the skin looks better after a few days, complete the full course (usually 7 to 14 days) to ensure the infection is fully eradicated.
- Do Not Cover: Avoid covering the treated area with airtight bandages or "occlusive" dressings unless told to do so by a doctor, as this can increase the absorption of the steroid and cause side effects.
- Avoid Eyes: Keep the cream away from the eyes, nose, and mouth.
How to Store and Dispose of Biocoten
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Do not freeze. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of the empty tube in regular household waste once the treatment is finished.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications and Restrictions
- Viral Infections: Do not use on viral skin lesions such as Chickenpox, Herpes Simplex (cold sores), or Shingles.
- Acne/Rosacea: This cream is not suitable for treating acne or rosacea on the face.
- Tuberculosis/Syphilis: Do not use on skin lesions caused by tuberculosis or syphilis.
Side Effects of Biocoten
- Common: Mild stinging, burning, or redness at the site of application when first used.
- Long-term Use: Prolonged use (over 4 weeks) or use on large areas can lead to skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, or "spider veins."
- Action: If you develop a severe allergic reaction, such as a spreading rash or hives, stop use immediately and consult a doctor.
Precautions and Warnings
- Face and Folds: Use with extreme caution on the face, groin, or armpits, as the skin in these areas is thinner and more prone to steroid side effects.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use. It should only be used if the benefit justifies the potential risk. If breastfeeding, do not apply to the breast area before feeding.
- Children: Use for the shortest period possible in children, as they absorb steroids more readily than adults.
- Pack Size: 20g Tube.
- Form: Topical Cream.
- Active Ingredients: Clotrimazole, Gentamicin, Betamethasone.
