• Clotrimazole: An imidazole derivative with fungistatic and fungicidal activity against Candida spp., Trichophyton rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, and Trichomonas species.

Pharmacokinetics

Topically applied Soslac G3 has minimal systemic absorption and is generally not detectable in the bloodstream.

4. Indications

Soslac G3 is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory dermatoses responsive to corticosteroids, complicated by secondary bacterial (gentamicin-sensitive) or fungal (clotrimazole-sensitive) infections, or when such infections are suspected.
Particularly effective for moist eczema.

4.1 Infectious Dermatitis

Infectious dermatitis refers to skin inflammation caused by bacterial infection. It often occurs when bacteria enter the skin through cuts, wounds, or other damaged areas. Symptoms may include redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes pus formation.

4.2 Fungal Skin Infections

Fungal infections are common skin conditions caused by fungi, especially in moist areas of the body. Soslac G3 is effective in treating several types, including:

• Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis): Characterized by itching, redness, and peeling between the toes.
• Fungal nail infections (Onychomycosis): Nails become thick, brittle, and discolored.
• Ringworm (Tinea corporis): Causes circular, scaly, red patches on the body.

4.3 Tinea Versicolor (Pityriasis Versicolor)

Tinea versicolor is a superficial fungal infection caused by Malassezia yeasts. It presents as white or brown spots on the skin, typically found on the back, chest, neck, or face. Although not painful, it affects the appearance and may lower self-confidence. It is more common in individuals with oily skin, excessive sweating, or those living in hot, humid climates.

4.4 Folliculitis

Folliculitis is an infection of the hair follicles caused by bacteria or fungi. It appears as red, itchy, or painful bumps, sometimes filled with pus. It can affect any area of the body with hair but is most common on the face, neck, armpits, buttocks, and legs.

4.5 Diaper Rash (Diaper Dermatitis)

Diaper rash is skin irritation and inflammation in the diaper area, usually due to prolonged exposure to urine or feces. Symptoms include redness, swelling, itching, and sometimes blistering.

Causes of Tinea Versicolor (Pityriasis Versicolor):

Tinea versicolor is a common skin condition caused by the fungus Malassezia (formerly known as Pityrosporum). This yeast naturally resides on human skin but can overgrow under favorable conditions such as oily skin, hot and humid climates, excessive sweating, weakened immune system, or improper skin hygiene. When it proliferates, it leads to infection.

The condition typically appears as discolored patches on the skin — white, pink, or brown — often with fine scaling and mild itching. These patches commonly affect the chest, back, neck, and upper arms.
