Mode of Action

Triamcinolone is a fluorinated corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and anti-allergic actions. Nystatin, a polyene antifungal antibiotic, binds to ergosterol and interferes with the permeability of cell membrane of susceptible fungi e.g Candida spp. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside, often used topically in the infections against susceptible staphylococci and other organisms. Gramicidin, an antibacterial substance extracted from tyrothricin, is active against many Gram-positive bacteria. Used together, this combination provides a wide coverage against gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria and yeast which are responsible for most of the skin infections.
