Akriderm: types, indications, instructions, reviews - cream and ointment

Comparison of the effectiveness of Akriderm GK and Akriderm genta

The effectiveness of Akriderm GC is quite similar to Akriderm genta - this means that the ability of the medicinal substance to provide the maximum possible effect is similar.
For example, if the therapeutic effect of Akriderm GC is more pronounced, then using Akriderm genta even in large doses will not achieve this effect.

Also, the speed of therapy is an indicator of the speed of the therapeutic action; Akriderm GK and Akriderm gents are approximately the same. And bioavailability, that is, the amount of a drug reaching its site of action in the body, is similar. The higher the bioavailability, the less it will be lost during absorption and use by the body.

Reviews

Patients with atopic dermatitis and neurodermatitis respond very well to Akriderm ointments. Helps cope with skin itching already on the second day of use. In the future, an anti-relapse treatment regimen helps prevent the onset of symptoms.

In psoriasis, the effect is less successful and depends on many factors. In addition, treatment must be comprehensive and include different treatment methods.

Comparison of safety of Akriderm GK and Akriderm genta

The safety of a drug includes many factors.

At the same time, in Akriderm GK it is quite similar to Akriderm gentoi. It is important where the drug is metabolized: drugs are excreted from the body either unchanged or in the form of products of their biochemical transformations. Metabolism occurs spontaneously, but most often involves major organs such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, brain and others. When assessing the metabolism of Akriderm GK, as well as Akriderm genta, we look at which organ is the metabolizing organ and how critical the effect on it is.

The risk-benefit ratio is when the prescription of a drug is undesirable, but justified under certain conditions and circumstances, with the obligatory observance of caution in use. At the same time, Akriderm GK does not have any risks when used, just like Akriderm gents.

Also, when calculating safety, it is taken into account whether only allergic reactions occur or possible dysfunction of the main organs. In other matters, as well as the reversibility of the consequences of using Akriderm GC and Akriderm genta.

Akriderm SK cream and ointment

This is a complex ointment containing: betamethasone + salicylic acid.

Betamethasone is described above (read).

Salicylic acid is a product that exfoliates and softens superficial scales on the surface of the skin. A very useful effect for long-term chronic diseases with thickening and excessive peeling of the skin such as psoriasis.

Indications for use

Akriderm SK ointment is indicated for patients with chronic skin diseases, accompanied by itching, thickening and excessive exfoliation of horny scales from the surface of the skin:

• psoriasis,
• eczema,
• neurodermatitis,
• seborrheic dermatitis of the skin of the face, body,
• lichen planus,
• ichthyosis.

Instructions for use, side effects and contraindications

The same as for simple Akriderm ointment (see above).

Attention: do not use Akriderm SK for weeping eczema!

Comparison of addiction between Akriderm GK and Akriderm genta

Like safety, addiction also involves many factors that must be considered when evaluating a drug.

So, the totality of the values ​​of such parameters as “o syndrome” in Akriderm GC is quite similar to the similar values ​​in Akriderm genta. Withdrawal syndrome is a pathological condition that occurs after the cessation of intake of addictive or dependent substances into the body. And resistance is understood as initial immunity to a drug; in this it differs from addiction, when immunity to a drug develops over a certain period of time. The presence of resistance can only be stated if an attempt has been made to increase the dose of the drug to the maximum possible. At the same time, Akriderm GK has a fairly low “syndrome” value, just like Akriderm genta.

Comparison of side effects of Akriderm GK and Akriderm genta

Side effects or adverse events are any adverse medical event that occurs in a subject after administration of a drug.

Akriderm GK has almost the same level of adverse events as Akriderm genta. They both have few side effects. This implies that the frequency of their occurrence is low, that is, the indicator of how many cases of an undesirable effect of treatment are possible and registered is low. The undesirable effect on the body, the strength of influence and the toxic effect of Akriderm GC is similar to Akriderm genta: how quickly the body recovers after taking it and whether it recovers at all.

What is the difference between the types of drugs?

Unlike other drugs for the treatment of skin dermatoses or acne, Akriderm acts in a complex manner due to the hormone it contains. The ointment quickly suppresses the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, and promotes long-term remission.

Distinctive features are also the features of using Akriderm. To treat facial skin, ointment can be used only in the most extreme cases and for a short time.

This potent drug is not recommended for use in the treatment of skin diseases in children and pregnant women.

Pharmacological properties

The medication belongs to the group of hormonal drugs with a wide spectrum of action. The active ingredient is betamethasone. To improve the therapeutic effect and expand the scope of application, the drug contains antifungal and antimicrobial substances, and in rare cases, salicylic acid.

The therapeutic effect is achieved by isolating accumulations of leukocytes and suppressing their action, due to which anti-inflammatory substances are released at the site of the inflammatory process. The effect of the drug is also aimed at reducing swelling, reducing itching and burning sensation in the affected area. At the same time, the process of restoration of damaged tissues is activated.

The popularity of the drug is associated with its complex effect on the epidermis, as well as its high efficiency. The main properties of Akriderm include:

• removal of edema;
• eliminating discomfort in areas of skin damage;
• antiallergic effect;
• antifungal and antibacterial action;
• “dries out” damaged areas;
• promotes rapid tissue regeneration.

The medicine acts immediately after application, penetrating into the tissue through the pores.
