Triacutan
Name: Triacutan Pharmacological action: Triacutan is a combination drug with local action. The effects of Triakutan are associated with its constituent components; it has a local effect on the skin associated with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, antibacterial, antifungal and vasoconstrictor effects. Clotrimazole, which is part of Triakutan, has an antimycotic effect aimed at disrupting the synthesis of the fungal membrane, which causes its death. Clotrimazole also has an antibacterial effect against staphylococci, streptococci, lamblia, trichomonas, mold fungi, leishmania, corynebacteria.
Gentamicin belongs to the group of aminoglycosides and exhibits antimicrobial properties against many microorganisms, which ensures rapid achievement of bactericidal action when applied locally. The spectrum of antibacterial activity extends to microorganisms that cause secondary infection of the skin. Active against gram (-) bacteria: Aerobacter aerogenes, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Gram (+) bacteria: streptococcus (susceptible strains of group A β- and α-hemolytic streptococcus), Staphylococcus aureus (coagulase (+), coagulase (-), some species that produce penicillinase). Betamethasone dipropionate is a representative of GCS. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, affecting all phases of inflammation in the lesion. Has antipruritic and vasoconstrictor effects.
Indications for use: - Dermatoses that are sensitive to GCS treatment; - complicated dermatitis with microorganisms that can be treated with the components of the drug; - fungal skin changes caused by dermatophytes and fungi of the genus Candida (mycoses, pityriasis versicolor, epidermophytosis); - bacterial and infectious skin lesions (acute and chronic process), which are sensitive to the components of the drug.
Directions for use: Triacutane is used as a local remedy for external use. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of cream to affected areas of the skin at intervals of 12 hours. Application should be regular. The duration of therapy depends on the effectiveness and extent of the affected area. If there is low effectiveness within 3-4 weeks, therapy is canceled and modified.
Side effects: Triacutan is well tolerated; undesirable effects are rare, more often when using the drug under occlusive dressings. Local changes in the skin: burning, erythema, decreased pigmentation, skin rash, itching, exudation. Negative reactions associated with the action of gentamicin and clotrimazole: irritation, dry skin, acne, increased hair growth, dermatitis, maceration, folliculitis, atrophic processes of the skin and striae, the appearance of blisters, local edema and urticaria. Local erythema does not require discontinuation of treatment.
Contraindications: - Individual intolerance to the components of the drug; - intolerance to imidazole derivatives; - syphilis, skin manifestations; - psoriasis; - skin tuberculosis; - perioral dermatitis; - acne; - chicken pox; - bacterial skin infections that do not have appropriate etiological treatment; - fungal infections of the skin that do not have appropriate etiological treatment; — post-vaccination skin reactions; - phlebeurysm.
Pregnancy: Triacutane is not used in pregnant women or during lactation.
Interaction with other drugs: Nystatin and natamycin, when applied topically with clotrimazole, reduce their pharmacological activity. Dexamethasone, used in maximum doses, reduces the effect of clotrimazole, and hydroxybenzoic acid enhances the local effect of the latter.
Overdose: Cases of overdose occur with prolonged use of the drug under bandages. As a result of long-term use of gentamicin, susceptibility to antimicrobial agents decreases. With long-term use of GCS, the likelihood of developing secondary adrenal insufficiency increases, as well as the possibility of developing Cushing's syndrome. When permissible doses are exceeded for a short time, overdose symptoms do not develop. When using dressings for no more than 6 hours, it also does not increase the likelihood of developing negative reactions. Symptomatic treatment is used as therapy. In case of prolonged overdose, slow withdrawal of GCS is recommended. Overdose symptoms are reversible.
Release form: Triacutan cream 15.0 No. 1. 1 tube in a cardboard box.
Storage conditions: Temperature no more than 25 degrees Celsius, do not store at low temperatures.
Composition: Betamethasone: 0.64 mg/g; gentamicin sulfate: 1 mg/g; clotrimazole: 10 mg/g; excipients: methylparaben, propylenglykol, disodium edetate, oleum vaselini, white petrolatum, cetostearyl alcohol, disodium phosphate dodecahydrate, Na dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate, purified water, macrogol 20 cetostearyl ether.
Additionally: Triacutane is not used for placement into the conjunctival sac. Long-term therapy with Triakutan can cause disruption of the processes of susceptibility to microbial agents, which increases the risk of developing superinfection. With prolonged use of occlusive dressings, irritation and sensitization to the drug may occur, which requires discontinuation of treatment and symptomatic therapy with a revision of the patient's management plan. When using local corticosteroids, which are part of the product, they increase the risk of developing disorders of the functional state of the adrenal glands, with their subsequent reduction. When using local dressings, when treating large areas of damage, the level of absorption of gentamicin and GCS increases, increasing their systemic effect.
It is recommended not to use gentamicin on damaged skin with cracks or wound surfaces to avoid systemic and undesirable effects of Triacutan. Long-term therapy requires a mandatory step-by-step slow withdrawal of Triacutan, observing all the rules for reducing the frequency of use and dosage of the latter. Gentamicin is not recommended for long-term use in local treatment. There are a small number of cases of cross-allergic manifestations with antibacterial agents of the aminoglycoside group. Local treatment with Triacutan during pregnancy is not recommended, but is justified if there is a high probability of benefit to the mother.
Children's age group. Triacutan is not used in this age group due to the low level of evidence for its use in children. There is no data on the ability of Triakutan to influence the control of transport or complex mechanisms.

Pharmacological properties of the drug Triakutan
Pharmacodynamics . Anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antibacterial, antifungal agent. Betamethasone has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and antipruritic effects. Inhibits the accumulation of leukocytes, the release of lysosomal enzymes and pro-inflammatory mediators at the site of inflammation, inhibits phagocytosis, reduces vascular tissue permeability, and prevents the formation of inflammatory edema. Clotrimazole has an antifungal effect as a result of disruption of the synthesis of ergosterol, which is an integral part of the cell membrane of fungi. Active against Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, Candida albicans, Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum orbiculare) . Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic of the aminoglycoside group that has a bactericidal effect against gram-negative bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae; gram-positive bacteria: Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus . Pharmacokinetics . When the drug is used externally in therapeutic doses, transdermal absorption of the active substances into the blood is very low. The use of occlusive dressings significantly increases the transdermal absorption of betamethasone and gentamicin, which may lead to an increased risk of systemic side effects.
