Description

What Is Timodine Cream?

Timodine Cream is a combination antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream used to treat skin conditions where fungal infections cause irritation and inflammation. It is particularly effective in treating areas where the skin is inflamed and infected, such as with severe nappy rash, intertrigo (a rash that occurs between skin folds), and certain types of dermatitis. Timodine is composed of four active ingredients: Nystatin, an antifungal that kills Candida albicans; Hydrocortisone, a mild steroid that reduces inflammation; Dimeticone, which forms a protective barrier over the skin; and Benzalkonium Chloride, an antiseptic that prevents further infection​.

How Does Timodine Cream Work?

Timodine cream works by killing the bacteria that cause infections. When applied to the skin, timeline cream works by blocking the action of certain enzymes that are necessary for the development of inflammation. It does this by interfering with the bacteria's ability to make proteins. This prevents the formation of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are responsible for the redness, swelling, and pain that are characteristic of many skin conditions. This helps to prevent infections and promote healing.
