Trivix
Trivix is a combination topical cream used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. It contains three active ingredients: betamethasone dipropionate (a corticosteroid), clotrimazole (an antifungal agent), and gentamicin (an antibiotic). These components work together to reduce inflammation, treat fungal infections, and prevent bacterial growth in affected areas. Trivix helps relieve itching, redness, and discomfort associated with these conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I use Trivix?
Trivix is typically used for up to two weeks, but follow your healthcare provider's instructions. Using it longer than prescribed may increase the risk of side effects like skin thinning.
Can I use Trivix for a fungal infection on its own?
While Trivix contains clotrimazole, an antifungal, it is specifically formulated for inflammatory skin conditions complicated by infections. Do not use it solely for fungal infections unless directed by your doctor.
Can I use Trivix on my face?
It is generally not recommended to use Trivix on the face, groin, or underarms unless your doctor advises you to do so, as the skin in these areas is more sensitive and prone to side effects.
What should I do if I experience skin irritation while using Trivix?
If you notice mild irritation, you can reduce the frequency of application or contact your healthcare provider for guidance. Discontinue use if severe irritation or allergic reactions occur.
Is Trivix safe for children?
Trivix may be used in children under medical supervision, but children are more susceptible to the side effects of corticosteroids. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and avoid prolonged use.
