Imaduo

Clotrimazole and Hexamidine diisetionate, the active ingredients in Imaduo, are an antifungal and antiseptic presented as a topical formulation for cutaneous use. They are indicated for common superficial fungal infections and work by inhibiting fungal cell membrane synthesis and disrupting microbial membranes. Imaduo is supplied in a ready‑to‑apply preparation suitable for application to the skin.

GNH USA supplies Imaduo as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Imaduo combines an antifungal and an antiseptic to treat superficial fungal skin conditions. It is applied directly to the affected area.

- Tinea corporis: reduces fungal growth and promotes clearance of ring‑shaped lesions. - Tinea cruris: alleviates itching and erythema in the groin region. - Tinea pedis: controls athlete's foot infection and relieves scaling. - Cutaneous candidiasis: eradicates Candida species on the skin and improves symptoms.

Topical application of Imaduo may cause local reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Burning sensation at the application site. - Mild itching or pruritus. - Redness or erythema. - Dryness or peeling of the skin. - Stinging or tingling feeling. - Local irritation or mild rash.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (e.g., angio‑edema, anaphylaxis). - Extensive blistering or bullous dermatitis. - Contact urticaria or widespread rash. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Persistent swelling or edema of the treated area. - Secondary bacterial infection of the skin.

Before using Imaduo, consider the following safety measures.

- Avoid application on broken or inflamed skin: may increase irritation. - Do not apply near eyes, mouth or mucous membranes: risk of accidental ingestion. - Discontinue use if severe irritation or allergic reaction occurs: seek medical advice. - Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Imaduo may interact with other topical or systemic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with other topical antiseptics or strong irritants: may exacerbate skin irritation. - Systemic antifungal therapy (e.g., oral azoles): potential additive antifungal effect leading to increased local toxicity.
