Indications:
For the short-term (i.e., less than 2 weeks) treatment of inflammatory cutaneous candidiasis caused by Candida albicans and other Candida sp.. This combination medication is used to treat skin infections and to reduce symptoms (e.g., redness, irritation, swelling, and itching) caused by the infection. Nystatin is an antifungal that works by slowing or stopping the growth of fungi and yeasts. Neomycin sulfate is an antibiotic that work by stopping the growth of bacteria (gram positive). Triamcinolone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce skin redness, swelling, and itching.
Dosage and Administration:
Adults:
Apply sparingly as a thin film to the affected skin twice daily, morning and evening.
Pediatric:
Administer the least amount of topical preparations that provides effective therapy.
For dermatologic use only; avoid contact with eyes. The area of skin to be treated may be thoroughly cleansed before topical application to reduce the risk of infection; however, some clinicians believe that, unless an occlusive dressing is used, cleansing of the treated area is unnecessary and may be irritating. Apply ointment sparingly in a thin film and rub gently into the affected area. Occlusive dressings may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. If an infection develops, the use of occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.
Contraindication:
Known hypersensitivity to triamcinolone acetonide, nystatin, neomycin sulfate or any ingredient in the formulation.
On eyes and mucous membranes.
