Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I use Dermazene?
The duration of use will depend on the severity of your condition. Typically, it should not be used for more than 2 weeks without consulting your healthcare provider.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Dermazene Work?
Dermazene works by combining the anti-inflammatory effects of hydrocortisone, which helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching, with the antimicrobial action of iodoquinol, which kills or inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria. Together, these components address both the inflammation and infection associated with certain skin conditions.
Common Dosages
- Hydrocortisone 1%
- Iodoquinol 1%
Typical Dosing
- For inflammatory skin conditions: Apply a thin layer of Dermazene cream to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Eczema
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Contact dermatitis
- Infected skin rashes
- Other mixed inflammatory and infectious skin conditions
Who Shouldn't Take Dermazene?
- Known hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone, iodoquinol, or any components of the formulation
- Viral skin infections, such as herpes simplex or varicella (chickenpox)
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Dermazene cream sparingly to the affected area and rub it in gently. Do not use more than prescribed, as overuse can lead to side effects.
- Avoid prolonged use or application over large areas, as this can lead to systemic absorption of corticosteroids, increasing the risk of side effects.
- Wash your hands before and after applying the cream, and avoid getting the medication in your eyes or mouth.

Interactions with Dermazene
Common Drug Interactions
- Other topical medications: Avoid using Dermazene with other topical corticosteroids or antifungals without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
- Systemic corticosteroids: If you are taking oral corticosteroids, using Dermazene topically can increase the risk of systemic corticosteroid effects.
