Skin problems are very unpleasant. In addition to the fact that they cause a lot of inconvenience and pose a threat to he alth, not a single person who has them can feel comfortable and confident. That is why, at the first symptoms of a skin disease, you should contact a practitioner so that you can achieve the desired result and a he althy look of the face without complications.
Today, many have heard about the analogues of the drug "Akriderm GK". Reviews about them are only positive if they were used for their intended purpose and on the recommendations of a doctor. Everyone has long known that self-treatment does not lead to good.
Let's consider Akriderm GK in detail
"Akriderm GK" is a specialized drug that is prescribed by a doctor if the patient has signs of fungal diseases, inflammation or allergic reactions. In pharmacies, Akriderm GK can be found in the form of a cream or ointment, which are packaged in aluminum metal tubes. Both the ointment and the cream have a white (or close to it) color and a thick greasy consistency, as they containmeans contains paraffin. You can find drugs in tubes of 15 and 30 grams.
Like all drugs, this one has instructions that you should definitely read carefully before using. The thing is that the drug is quite specific.
Are there any quality analogues?
Of course, Akriderm GK cream has analogues, like any other widespread drug. Modern doctors refer Triderm, as well as Canison-Plus, to good remedies. Analogues can be prescribed to you if Akriderm is not suitable in composition, that is, you are susceptible to one of its components. As for the price of analogues, for example, "Triderm" will cost you even a little more, but if the treatment is extremely necessary and you are too susceptible to the original, then the issue of money becomes secondary.
"Canison Plus" is a little cheaper than "Akriderm GK", but again, you need to choose which of the drugs should be used in your case only based on the symptoms present and possible hypersensitivity to one of the components of this or another drug. But still, most patients prefer Akriderm, because Canison is a drug imported from India.
"Triacutan" is perhaps the cheapest analogue of "Akriderm", as it is produced in Ukraine. He has almost the samecomposition, and this suggests that Triacutan is able to cope with the same diseases as the original.
"Akriderm GK" - ointment and cream - are domestic drugs, so their price is low. But still they are very effective. But still they are very effective, which is confirmed by the competent opinions of doctors, and good reviews of patients who have undergone therapy using these drugs. Thus, everyone will be able to afford treatment with Akriderm GK.
Analogues (cheap) that you should not prescribe yourself on your own
The following ointments and creams are also less well-known and at the same time less effective analogues of the remedy we are considering:
- "Celestoderm-B".
- "Belosalik".
- "Beloderm".
- "Betasal".
- "Rederm".
Let's consider them in detail.
Unlike the drugs "Canison-Plus" and "Triderm", the above-mentioned analogues differ slightly in composition. Therefore, it is necessary to not only carefully read the instructions before use, but also consult a doctor.
They all belong to the same pharmacological group, but they will help from different diseases, as these are different forms of release, as already mentioned. It is worth understanding all the features of drugs in order to be able to distinguish them from each other and not make a mistake when choosing the right remedy.
So, Celestoderm-B cream is an anti-inflammatory agent, which is also withoutproblems will help with allergic diseases that affect the condition of the skin. "Celestoderm-V" will relieve itching.
"Belosalik" is another analogue of "Akriderm GK". It is also a very popular drug, which is trusted by many buyers, because it is the first assistant in skin inflammation. "Belosalik" cannot be prescribed by a doctor if you have all the signs of a bacterial disease of the skin or allergies, since this medicine is powerless against them.
"Beloderm" and "Rederm" are excellent antiseptics that will also help if you have inflammation on the skin. By the way, these drugs are considered one of the best keratolytic drugs.
As can be seen from the similar characteristics of these funds, they are quite similar in scope, but they have a slightly different composition. Practitioners are well aware of which of these drugs is right for you, so you should not prescribe such a treatment to yourself without the vigilant supervision of a doctor.
Purpose and application: "Akriderm GK" or analogues? What to choose?
There is a specific number of diseases in which you can be prescribed analogues or the drug itself we are considering. But do not forget that only a practicing specialist should prescribe the correct choice of remedy and treatment regimen.
So, let's continue our consideration of Akriderm GK. Instructions for use states that this medicine helps with all known dermatitis,both simple and allergic. Even if the disease was complicated by secondary infection, Akriderm GK or its analogues should act quickly.
If you know what diffuse neurodermatitis is or even had it, then you should remember that the drug we are discussing and its analogues are quite effective in this disease. "Triderm" and "Kanizon-Plus" perform especially well.
Limited neurodermatitis, as well as lichen simplex, can also be cured quickly and efficiently when using Akriderm GK. The testimonials of people who have had an illness are proof of this.
Eczema is a terrible disease that affects the skin of a person, seriously complicating his life and causing a lot of inconvenience. However, you can also deal with it. With eczema, Akriderm GK (the instruction confirms this) is one of the most effective drugs, although Belosalik, Beloderm, and Betasal can be used instead.
Dermatomycosis, as well as candidiasis, are very "afraid" of Celestoderm-B and Triderm creams, but still it is worth using them only after a doctor's examination.
Consider contraindications
No matter what anyone says, it is very important to know contraindications to drugs. Sometimes this is even more important than the concept of medical indications. Therefore, before you start therapy using Akriderm GK, instructions for useto it must be studied by you completely. And this is especially true of its section on contraindications. Let us briefly outline its general provisions.
If you have been diagnosed with syphilis, but there are no skin manifestations as such, the use of Akriderm GK analogues is possible only under medical supervision. If there are already skin rashes, treatment with this group of drugs is strictly prohibited.
Skin tuberculosis is also a disease that will prevent you from using these drugs.
Open wounds or chicken pox should not be treated with Akriderm GK. Ointment (reviews - confirmation of this) can only do harm. The same goes for cream.
Skin post-vaccination reactions, as well as herpes simplex, should in no case be treated with Akriderm analogues. This can seriously damage your he alth.
Can analogues be used during pregnancy or for the treatment of young children?
During pregnancy, as well as lactation, the organisms of a woman and the fetus that develops in her are very susceptible to a variety of external factors, including medications. For analogues of Akriderm GK, indications for use during pregnancy change. The doctor may allow the use of these drugs only in the first trimester, but in very limited doses so as not to harm the child. As for the lactation period, if the use of Akriderm is an emergency, breastfeeding will have tostop.
Analogues of the drug in the form of creams can be prescribed to a child who has already reached the age of one year. But the application should take place under constant monitoring of changes in the condition of a small patient. In the form of an ointment, drugs are allowed to be used for children only from two years old.
How to use Akriderm GK and its analogues?
Depending on the complexity of the disease, "Akriderm GK" or its analogues, such as "Triderm" and "Canison-Plus", can be applied once or twice a day. The cream or ointment is applied only to the diseased areas of the skin. It takes about two weeks to be treated with these drugs. The maximum period of therapy is up to one month. If after the first week of use you still do not notice positive results, you should contact your doctor again and change the dosage. Also, the lack of results may be noted due to the fact that the diagnosis was incorrectly made.
Interestingly, Akriderm analogues are among those drugs that are extremely dangerous to cancel abruptly. From the use of ointment or cream should be abandoned in stages.
Application on the skin of the face has its own characteristics
Analogues of Akriderm, namely Belosalik and Beloderm, can also be used on the skin of the face, but there are some treatment features. If the drug can be used on other areas of the skin for up to four weeks, then the maximum period for the skin of the face should not exceed five days, otherwise not onlyside effects, but also atrophic changes in the epidermis.
Let's also consider possible side effects
Since these drugs are prescribed for quite serious diseases, it is clear that their components can cause some side effects, which, however, should not frighten the patient.
If you notice dry skin, mild and tolerable itching or burning sensation after starting to use any of the Akriderm analogues, as well as mild irritation or allergic reactions, this may be due to the start of the drug. It is worth contacting your treating specialist, who may be able to recommend a medicine that is more suitable for your individual case. But reviews confirm that such reactions are extremely rare or almost imperceptible.
What do patients say about these drugs?
People who are faced with diseases in which Kanison-Plus, Triderm or Akriderm GK are prescribed, only positive and even admiring reviews leave them. Such an attitude towards drugs is quite understandable by the fact that they are really able to quickly help with unpleasant skin diseases. According to reviews, these drugs can even speed up the healing of cracks that appear after fungal infections.
Many people like Akriderm GK also because it does not have an unpleasant odor. It absorbs quickly and leaves no marks on clothes. Besides, he doesn'twill cause no discomfort if you are constantly in the company of other people and use Akriderm GK at the same time. Cheap analogues can have a rather sharp, unpleasant odor.
Is Akriderm GK really a hormonal drug?
Many are interested in the question: is Akriderm GK a hormonal drug or not? There is only one answer here: it is really a hormone-containing remedy.
However, with the correct dosage and following all the advice of the attending physician, no side effects will be observed. So do not be afraid of this medicine just because it contains glucocorticosteroids, because if you violate the doctor's recommendations, you can harm yourself with any non-hormonal drug.
In case of an overdose or excessively prolonged use of this remedy, the development of Cushing's syndrome is possible. This disease is characterized by a chronic effect on the body of an excess of hormones that are secreted by the adrenal cortex. But rarely it is Akriderm GK that causes such a disease. Cheap analogues may well provoke it.
We take care of our eyes and some more precautions
