The mechanism of action and efficacy
As part of the same medication active ingredient is present - betamethasone. It has on the skin anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and antiekssudativnoe action. We can say that Akriderm, Akriderm SC, GC, and Akriderm Akriderm Ghent - analogues. However, they all help in different situations.
Akriderm Ghent contains a further active ingredient - gentamicin. It has an antimicrobial effect, destroys Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. At the same time it means no effect on fungal pathogens and viral infection. Efficacy will be noticeable in inflammatory and non-inflammatory allergic diseases of the epidermis, accompanied by secondary bacterial infection.
Akriderm GC is more expensive drug, which justifies its mechanism of action. As part of ointments and creams also present gentamicin. The drug has a similar efficacy to its predecessor. However, there still is an antifungal agent - clotrimazole. It has a broad spectrum of action on pathogens, increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. The difference between the drugs only in this. If the skin disease is accompanied by a secondary fungal infection, replace Akriderm GK his counterparts can not.
