SEPTOZYL

Cream with Neomycin

Topical corticoid for use in skin diseases

Composition

Each one gram of cream contains:

5 mg Neomycin sulfate

1 mg 9a-fiuoro-16a-methylprednisolon

Septozyl cream is effective for topical use in skin diseases. The first active substance — a synthetic corticoid ester — has an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic action, and the second component Neomycin sulfate has antibacterial activity. This composition is available in a specially formulated base, which is excellently tolerated by the skin. Septozyl cream is suitable for use in adults and children.

Indications

Eczema of varying type and localization, including infantile eczema. Various forms of dermatitis, sunburn, otitis externa, intertrigo and napkin rash. Various forms of neurodermatitis. Skin diseases especially psoriasis, lichen planus and chronic discoid lupus erythematosus. Itching of the pudenda and anus.

Application and dosage

Septozyl should be applied to the skin in a thin film several times daily. In some cases, one application a day will prove sufficient. After the skin has healed, Septozyl with neomycin should be applied one time daily for a further 1—2 weeks in order to prevent any recurrence of the disease.

Side effects

After a long-term use of Septozyl, and when the preparation is applied to extensive areas of skin, there is a possibility of the following side effects appearing:

1) hyperglycaemia and glycosuria (in patients with a family history of diabetes mellitus);

2) increased potassium excretion, possibly resulting in hypokalaemic alkalosis;

3) hypertrichosis and acne;

4) sodium and water retention, giving rise to oedema and hypertension;

5) a negative nitrogen balance;

6) clinical picture of Cushing's syndrome;

7) delayed healing of surgical wounds;

8) prolonged treatment may cause adrenocoptical atrophy. Contraindications
