Dicot Cream 1% + 0.1% is a topical combination preparation containing Econazole Nitrate and Triamcinolone Acetonide, designed for the effective treatment of inflammatory fungal skin infections. This dual-action formula provides both antifungal and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to relieve infection while reducing redness, itching, and swelling.

Econazole Nitrate is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane. It inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the destruction of the fungus. It is effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and certain molds responsible for common skin infections.

Triamcinolone Acetonide is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, itching, and allergic reactions associated with fungal skin infections. By suppressing inflammatory responses, it provides rapid symptomatic relief and improves patient comfort.

Dicot Cream is particularly beneficial in cases where fungal infections are accompanied by significant inflammation and irritation.
