1. What is Tribetason?


Packing: Box includes 1 tube x 10g.

Betamethasone Dipropionate 6.4mg. Gentamicin 10mg. Clotrimazole 100mg. Other excipients with sufficient quantity of 1 tube. Effects of the main ingredients:
1.1. Effects of Betamethasone Dipropionate Betamethasone is a derivative of Prednisolone containing Fluorine, which has anti-inflammatory effects but stronger than Hydrocortisone, anti-allergic effects, this active ingredient belongs to the group of long-acting corticosteroids.
Anti-inflammatory effects Similar to other types of corticosteroids, Betamethasone drug affects the synthesis of some substances that participate in the body's inflammatory reactions such as leucotriene and prostaglandin. Through, increased production of lipocortin leads to inhibited phospholipase A2 ability to function. Phospholipase A2 is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of arachidonic acid, which is necessary for the synthesis of leucotrienes and prostaglandins. Thus, Betamethasone will reduce the synthesis of leucotriene and prostaglandin, thereby reducing the symptoms of the inflammatory response.
On the other hand, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Betamethasone can also be explained by affecting the white blood cells, reducing their migration to the site of inflammation in the body.
Anti-allergic effect Betamethasone works to reduce signs of allergies by inhibiting the enzyme that catalyzes the production of diacylglycerol and inositol triphosphate, Phospholipase C. Used to alter the permeability of mast cells and white blood cells, thereby releasing substances involved in allergic reactions. However, when Phospholipase C is inhibited, these two substances cannot be synthesized, so they cannot change the permeability to release substances involved in allergic reactions such as Histamine... from mast cells and white blood cells. At that time, the active ingredient Betamethasone will work to reduce allergy symptoms. Thus, Betamethasone drug has a combination of 3 active ingredients with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antifungal and antibacterial effects.
1.2. The effect of Clotrimazole Pharmaceutical substance Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal drug that inhibits the growth of pathogenic fungi such as Dermatophytes, Malassezia Furfur and yeasts,... Similar to other drugs in this group, Clotrimazole can act on some fungi such as: Candida, Microsporum spp, Trichophyton spp... In addition, the drug also acts on some bacteria such as: Trichomonas, Staphylococcus (staphylococcus).
Mechanism of action:
At the recommended therapeutic dose, the drug Clotrimazole acts on the formation of Ergosterol of the cell wall. However, at higher therapeutic doses, it also causes membrane damage through a mechanism other than sterol synthesis. Clotrimazole inhibits the synthesis of nuclear acid. This causes a disorder of lipid and polysaccharide metabolism, leading to damaged cell membranes. 1.3. Effect of Gentamicin This is an antibiotic with the ability to kill bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis. Gentamicin drug belongs to the group of antibiotics Aminoside, has bactericidal effect. The spectrum of action of Gentamicin: The drug is active against both gram-negative bacteria and some gram-positive bacteria, especially good for gram-negative aerobic bacteria but not for anaerobic bacteria. Mechanism of action: Similar to other antibiotics of the Aminoside antibiotic group, Gentamicin acts on bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S subunit of the ribosome. Thereby, the drug causes the ribosome structure to be deformed. At that time, the protein synthesis of bacteria is affected, foreign proteins are produced that are toxic to bacteria. At the same time, the necessary proteins are not synthesized leading to the destruction of many bacteria.
