Corti-Due

Betamethasone valerate and fusidic acid, the active ingredients in Corti-Due, is a combination of a corticosteroid and an antibacterial agent presented as a topical cream for external use. It is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. GNH USA supplies Corti-Due as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Corti-Due combines the anti-inflammatory properties of betamethasone valerate with the antibacterial action of fusidic acid, making it effective for conditions where both inflammation and infection are present. This dual-action formulation is designed to provide localized treatment while minimizing systemic side effects.

Corti-Due is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions that are also infected or at risk of infection. It is particularly effective in managing conditions where both inflammation and bacterial infection are present.

- Eczema: Reduces inflammation, redness, and itching associated with eczema while treating any bacterial infection. - Dermatitis: Alleviates symptoms of dermatitis, including swelling and itching, and combats bacterial infections. - Psoriasis with secondary bacterial infection: Helps manage the inflammatory symptoms of psoriasis while addressing any secondary bacterial infections.
