Timodine

Description

Timodine is a medicated cream that contains hydrocortisone, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, and iodochlorhydroxyquin, an antimicrobial agent. This combination helps to treat various skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and nappy rash. Timodine works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness on the skin, while also fighting off bacteria and fungi that may cause or worsen the skin condition. This cream is suitable for adults and children.
