Instructions for use of skin-cap cream and cheap analogues. Russian analogue "Skin cap" (cream) Indications and contraindications

Any skin diseases are a systemic problem, and therefore they are difficult to treat. The pharmaceutical industry is constantly releasing more and more new means to combat ailments, but victory is still only a dream. One of the very popular medicines is "Skin-cap". This is a whole series that includes unique anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal drugs designed for external use. All of them are released with one purpose, namely for the treatment of the skin.

Cream action

Our goal today is to find the optimal analogue of "Skin Cap". This cream, of course, is effective, but its price is not the most affordable. However, before moving on to the search for analogues, it would be good to find out what effect can be obtained using the original drug. The active substance is Due to its activation at the molecular level, the antibacterial effect increases, that is, the drug eliminates streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, staphylococcus aureus. In parallel with this, anti-inflammatory, as well as antifungal action is activated, the remedy easily eliminates lichen.

That is, the drug ensures the safety of the cells of our body, as well as the death of bacteria and pathogenic fungi. All symptoms are removed very quickly: itching, redness. The drug is used for neurodermatitis and eczema, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. The cost of one bottle of cream is 1200 rubles, but the manufacturer promises that it will be enough for a monthly course of treatment. With the exception of a severe form of psoriasis (in this case, it takes a month and a half), the disease can be defeated during this period. Now it is clear what we want when we are looking for an analogue of "Skin-cap": a cream that would have a more affordable price and the same efficiency.

Non-hormonal analogues

They are much safer than hormonal drugs, although they cannot help in the most severe cases, but nevertheless it is with them that you should begin your course of treatment. Not everyone can afford such a drug as "Skin-cap" (cream). Analogues are cheaper in price, and their choice is wide enough to satisfy the needs of each person. Ointment "Kartalin" is recognized as one of the best and safest medicines for solving such a problem as psoriasis. The composition includes bee honey and extracts of string, chamomile, salicylic acid, lavender and eucalyptus oil act as assistants. The cost of this tool is 740 rubles, its natural composition and good reviews are very attractive, indicating high efficiency.

We will not talk about the rest of the drugs in this group in detail, you probably already know about them if you bought Skin-cap (cream). The instruction gives analogues as an introduction: these are Daivonex, Akrustal, Antipsor, salicylic and zinc ointment.

Hormonal drugs

A very serious group of medicines that should not be purchased and used without a doctor's prescription - by the way, it is also required when prescribing "Skin-cap" (cream, instructions, photos of which are widely presented in specialized printed publications). We confine ourselves to distinguishing them according to the degree of intensity of the impact. The weakest are hydrocortisone and can be used for the mildest symptoms of dermatitis and seborrhea. Medium activity drugs are the well-known Lorinden, Latikort, Lokoid, Fluorocort, Triakort. All of them have anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, anti-allergic effects, that is, they can help no worse than "Skin Capa" (cream). The composition of the analogues of this group is the same, it is flumethasone, but the dosage may vary, so do not forget to consult your doctor.

There is another group of similar drugs, which has an intense effect. They are united by the active substance mometasone. These are Elokom, Avekort, Flutsinar and some others. The most powerful is the drug "Dermovate", in its composition - clobetasol.

Ointment "Psyricap"

The manufacturer of this drug is the Kievmedpreparat company. This is a great analogue of "Skin cap". The cream is produced in tubes of 30 g, and the cost of one today is around 300 rubles. The difference compared to the original is very significant. The drug is used for external use and has an antifungal and antibacterial effect. It is indicated for diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, seborrheic eczema. The course of treatment is usually 3-4 weeks.

Ointment "Kamagel"

This time we'll talk about the Polish equivalent of "Skin Cap". Cream "Kamagel" is a combination drug that has a pronounced dermatoprotective effect. It is prescribed for various dermatitis, including sunburn, insect bites. The active substance is aluminum acetotartrate, which has a local anti-inflammatory effect, helps to form a film on the affected area, which will protect the skin from external influences. In addition, the composition contains chamomile extract, which provides anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, wound healing and analgesic effects. The cost of the drug is 220 rubles.

Cream "Psoriderm"

Another wonderful tool, an analogue of "Skin-cap". Cream "Psoriderm" is produced by a Belarusian company in Minsk and received a large number of positive reviews. The main active ingredient is clobetasol propionate. It, like zinc in the composition of the original drug, has antipruritic and anti-inflammatory, as well as vasoconstrictive effects. When applied to the surface of the skin, the active ingredients quickly penetrate into the foci of inflammation, removing redness, swelling, swelling and eliminating itching. This drug is prescribed for psoriasis, eczema and lichen erythematosus, lupus erythematosus. If in the anamnesis of the treatment of a skin disease there was already experience with the use of less active corticosteroids, and they did not give a visible effect, then you can switch to this or (at the doctor's choice) any other Russian analogue of Skin-cap cream. The cost of this drug is about 190 rubles, however, unlike the original drug, reviews about it are not at all so rosy. Apparently, it is necessary to take into account that they are individual, and each case requires a painstaking selection of medicines.

Cream "Zinocap"

So far, we have considered drugs that differ in active ingredients, but are similar in their action to the Skin-cap (cream). However, there are analogues that are completely identical in composition, and Zinocap can be considered one of these. In its composition - all the same which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal effects. It covers a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The drug is available in tubes of 30 g worth 335 rubles. It is well absorbed through the skin and is well tolerated; its use is possible in children from one year old and adults. It often happens that doctors prescribe "Skin-cap" cream. They do not always take into account analogues. In this case, you can ask yourself if there are similar products that you can buy a little cheaper.

Summing up

As you can see, there are a huge number of similar drugs for the treatment of autoimmune skin diseases. Trying to figure them out on your own is very difficult, so be sure to choose a competent doctor for yourself who will oversee your treatment. However, they are considered a remedy, although effective, but too dangerous for your health, so they are used only as a last resort. Do not forget to ask your doctor about inexpensive analogues, they are, and you can save on this.

Skin diseases can hardly be considered a rarity, since every year tens of thousands of patients visit dermatologists' offices complaining of various inflammations and allergic ailments. Of course, the modern drug market offers a huge selection of drugs that can cope with certain diseases. And today, many people are interested in additional information about the drug "Skin-Cap". Analogue of the drug - does it exist? What properties does this medicine have? Are there any side effects, contraindications, complications? Is it really that effective? This information will be interesting and useful to many readers.

Description of the composition and form of release of the drug

To date, this product is available in several forms at once: cream (small tubes containing 15 g of the drug), aerosol (the bottle has a convenient spray nozzle), as well as shampoo and shower gel.

The main active ingredient is activated zinc pyrithione. But the list of auxiliary components already depends on the form of release. For example, the cream contains ethanol, glycerol, stearyl alcohol, coconut oil fatty acid ester, butylhydroxytoluene, purified water, cyclometics. But the composition of the aerosol contains polysorbate 80, isobutane, propane, butane, ethanol, water, isopropyl myristate and trogamine.

What effect does this drug have on the body?

Zinc pyrithionate has pronounced bacteriostatic and antifungal properties, so the drug quickly suppresses the activity of microorganisms, which are most often the cause of the inflammatory process. For example, the most active drug is in relation to the bacteria of the Pity-rosporum group, which in most cases contribute to the development of inflammation and cell hyperproliferation in seborrhea, psoriasis and other skin ailments.

This tool also blocks the activity of fungal microorganisms, including representatives such as candida and aspergillus.

Moreover, zinc pyrithionate also has cytostatic properties. The substance acts on cells that are at the stage of hyperproliferation and inhibits the process of their division. At the same time, this component does not affect healthy cells.

By the way, the cream has hydrating activity and provides the skin with the necessary amount of water molecules. The composition of the drug contains methyl ethyl sulfate, which increases the permeability of tissues, thereby ensuring rapid and maximum absorption of the drug.

Main indications for use

In what cases are patients recommended to use the drug "Skin-Cap"? Spray and cream in modern medicine are widely used to treat atopic dermatitis, eczema, neurodermatitis and other inflammatory skin diseases. Also, the drug is effective in psoriasis, as it helps to quickly eliminate inflammation and psoriatic plaques. The medicine can be used to treat seborrheic dermatitis in children under one year old. The cream additionally helps to cope with excessive dryness of the skin.

Shampoo "Skin-Cap" can also solve a lot of problems. It is prescribed to patients in the presence of severe dandruff, itching of the scalp. Also, the drug helps with oily and dry seborrhea, atopic dermatitis (when the scalp is affected).

The drug "Skin - Cap": instructions for use

Immediately it should be said that only a dermatologist can prescribe this drug, as well as determine the dosage and duration of treatment. So how to use the drug "Skin-Cap"? Instructions for use depend on the form of the medicine you have chosen.

For example, a thin layer of cream should be applied to the affected areas of the skin, but only after a thorough cleansing of its surface. Shake the cream tube thoroughly before use. The procedure is repeated twice a day. The course usually lasts 3-4 weeks. If we are talking about the treatment of psoriasis, then the duration of therapy can be increased to 1-1.5 months.

But "Skin-Cap" aerosol should be sprayed on the affected skin 2-3 times a day from a distance of about 15 cm. Treatment should be continued for another week after the symptoms of the disease have completely disappeared.

Shampoo is applied to wet hair, thoroughly massaged into the scalp, left for 5 minutes, then washed off. You can apply it 2-3 times a week.

Are there contraindications?

Many buyers are interested in questions about whether all categories of patients are allowed to use this medicine. Like any other medication, "Skin-Cap" has some contraindications, although in fact there are not many of them.

Of course, patients with hypersensitivity to any of the constituent substances of the drug are prohibited from using it, in order to avoid an allergic reaction and other, more dangerous complications.

In addition, the drug is not recommended for women in the first trimester of pregnancy, as well as nursing mothers. On the other hand, no trials have been conducted on these groups of patients, and to date there is no evidence of the negative effects of this drug.

What side effects can the drug cause?

There is another important question: how safe is this drug? In fact, complications associated with therapy are extremely rare in medical practice. However, it is not worth excluding the possibility of their occurrence.

So what side effects can the Skin-Cap drug cause? Aerosol and cream in the initial stages of treatment can lead to a feeling of tightness of the skin and a slight burning sensation. These reactions are considered completely normal and disappear on their own after a few days, although sometimes it is necessary to reduce the dose of the drug.

Less common complications include allergic reactions, which are accompanied by the appearance of redness, itching, urticaria, and slight swelling of the soft tissues. In the presence of such symptoms, stop treatment and consult a doctor as soon as possible. Perhaps the specialist will decide to cancel the Skin-Cap medicine - it is not difficult to find an analogue of the drug. In any case, allergies are extremely rare.

The drug "Skin-Cap": analogue and approximate cost

The issue of cost is also an interesting one. How much will "Skin-Cap" (cream) cost? The price of one tube is about 800 rubles. The cost of an aerosol is higher: about 1600 - 2000 rubles. Shampoo can be purchased for 1300 rubles, and the price of shower gel ranges from 600 to 800 rubles.

Not all patients are suitable for this medicine, either because of the presence of adverse reactions, or because of the lack of effect or too high cost. So what can replace the drug "Skin-Cap"? The Russian analogue is Zinocap, which, by the way, is considered no less effective. It also comes in the form of a cream or oily spray. By the way, the composition of these drugs is almost the same.

What other drugs have the same properties as Skin-Cap? Analogues are cheaper, by the way, also exist. The same "Zinokap" will cost you about 200 rubles. In addition, Lokoid, Kremgen, Cortomycetin, Carizon and many others are considered good substitutes.

Psoriasis is a serious disease, the number of patients with which is constantly growing. To treat this inflammation, a variety of methods are used - from massage to medications. It is also necessary to use external means, which is Shampoo Skin-Cap.

Compound

Skin cap It provides assistance in three different ways: spray, cream and shampoo. We'll just talk about the last one.

The shampoo is white in color, liquid and soft in consistency. Its active component, among others, is the active form of zinc pyrithione. Besides, In the composition you can find substances such as: Tego Pearly C-96, fatty acids of coconut oil, which are a natural component and perfectly smooth hair, and also give them rich care. In addition, among the ingredients there is Tero sulfonate and sodium lauryl sulfate - a component designed to rid hair of oiliness. The remaining ingredients are macrogol, dimethicone, propylene glycol copolymers and a few flavors for a better flavor.

The volume of the shampoo bottle is 150 milliliters.

Peculiarities

This remedy should be used against psoriasis and other dermatological problems. Zinc, which is an active ingredient, prevents unpleasant diseases such as fungus, or reduces its effect and protects against microbes. The tool works in such a way as to reduce the activity of bacteria and, ultimately, to nullify their presence.

A huge advantage of the action of zinc is the fact that it destroys the infection inside the cell, while not harming the cellular system itself. In addition, zinc not only has an effect on the symptoms of the disease, but also eliminates its causes.

If you use shampoo regularly, its effect is enhanced, as it is absorbed and remains inside, continuing to work even when you do not use it.

Application

Shampoo should be used for the following problems:

• If your scalp itches and itches with enviable regularity;
• In the presence of dandruff;
• If you have seborrhea, regardless of whether it is dry or oily;
• In the event that you are sick with atopic dermatitis, which affects precisely the hair and scalp.

The remedy should be applied to wet hair and massage the head for a while, allowing blood to flow to the roots of the hair. After that, you need to thoroughly rinse the shampoo and immediately apply it again, also with massaging movements, but now wait for about five minutes, allowing the product to be thoroughly absorbed and penetrate, and then rinse thoroughly. It is recommended to shake the jar before use, making a small "chatter".

The manufacturer promises that if you are trying to cure psoriasis, then after two weeks of using this remedy, a visible effect will appear.

Since this shampoo is therapeutic, it should be used in a course. In this case, it is recommended to do this for 5 weeks, 2-3 times every seven days. There is also the prevention of using shampoo after the disease has been cured, in case the psoriasis suddenly returns. During this period, it is worth using this product less often - once or twice a week.

The tool does not have any effect on the condition of the hair, as well as on their shape and color.

Contraindications and side effects

According to the manufacturers, the product should not be used only in case of individual intolerance to the listed components. But the fact is that among the ingredients there is a hormonal component, which somewhat expands the list of contraindications. Shampoo should not be used:

• In the presence of pink or acne vulgaris;
• If the skin is infected with any infection- this includes infection with herpes and chicken pox;
• If you are sick with perioral dermatitis;
• A disease such as skin tuberculosis is also contraindicated for use;
• In the presence of skin cancer;
• Children under eighteen years.

There are no contraindications against the use of shampoo during pregnancy and the risks are rather weak, but they should be taken into account. So, when carrying a child, you should refrain from using the remedy if you experience itching or rashes that were not there before. When breastfeeding, it is better not to use shampoo at all, or to stop this method of feeding for a while, in order to avoid risks.

As already mentioned, when using shampoo, you may experience allergic reactions. In this case, you should stop using this tool at least for a while. The presence of a component that controls hormones can cause the following reactions:

• The appearance of constant itching;
• Excessive dryness of the scalp;
• The presence of irritation;
• Excessive skin pigmentation;
• The occurrence of hypertrichosis;
• Active rash of acne and blackheads;
• Development of one or more infections;
• The occurrence of allergic dematitis;
• As well as perioral dermatitis;
• The development of other varieties of psoriasis, including pustular.

If you do not follow the instructions and use shampoo more often or do not take breaks, then your skin may well begin to crack, folliculitis and erythema may form. In some cases, there may be such unpleasant consequences as skin atrophy or numbness of the fingers.

The effects also depend on what you are taking and what kind of dressings you put on while using the remedy for psoriasis. You should be careful with this and, in case of any negative reaction, immediately stop using not only shampoo, but also other medicines, if possible. This should be done at least until you have cured the negative effects.

In very rare cases, the use of the drug causes serious side effects in which you should immediately stop using the shampoo and never use it again, but instead consult a doctor. Among these consequences are:

• Causing damage to the mucous system;
• The occurrence of gastritis;
• Severe allergic reactions;
• A sharp increase in intraocular pressure.

To make sure that the allergic reaction has passed, it is necessary to conduct special tests in the clinic or hospital. Do not do the verification yourself, it can not only turn out to be unreliable, but also harm you.

Precautionary measures

Dermatologists strongly advise to use the shampoo in a course and not to abuse this drug. This is because it contains such an element as clobetasol, which is quite harmful to the body, especially in large doses.

With the constant use of products with this ingredient, atrophic changes in the skin of the face and head may develop. You also need to be careful when using shampoo and avoid contact with eyes, otherwise the presence of hormonal elements will increase intraocular pressure. In addition to pressure, eye contact may in some cases cause cataracts or glaucoma.

Do not apply shampoo to areas of the skin that are not intended for this. For example, on the skin of the face or armpits. Otherwise, it can cause serious health problems like atrophy or dermatitis.

The instructions clearly state that children can be treated for psoriasis from the age of one year. As a rule, children easily tolerate medications and rarely experience any side effects. However, given the part of clobetasol, it is quite capable of leading to undesirable consequences. That's why it is recommended to use shampoo for children over 18 years old, when the body is stronger and more fortified.
