This medication is a combination antibiotic and steroid used on the skin to treat an infection and relieve associated itching and swelling.

Triamcinolone is a fluorinated corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and anti-allergic actions.

Nystatin, a polyene antifungal antibiotic, binds to ergosterol and interferes with the permeability of cell membrane of susceptible fungi e.g Candida spp.

Neomycin is an aminoglycoside, often used topically in the infections against susceptible staphylococci and other organisms.

Gramicidin, an antibacterial substance extracted from tyrothricin, is active against many Grampositive bacteria. Used together, this combination provides a wide coverage against gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria and yeast which are responsible for most of the skin infections.

Patients with established hearing loss. Avoid occlusive dressing and prolonged or recurrent use. Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes. If there is no clinical improvement after 7 days, discontinue use as the infection may be masked by the steroid. Limit use to 5 days if used on the face or on children <1 yr. Use with caution and sparingly on inflamed or damaged skin (e.g extensive burns, trophic ulceration). Pregnancy.
