IODOQUINOL, HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE, ALOE POLYSACCHARIDES

Each gram contains 20 mg of hydrocortisone acetate, 10 mg of iodoquinol and 10 mg of aloe polysaccharides in a vehicle consisting of: amino methylpropanol 95%, benzyl alcohol, carbomer, citric acid anhydrous, D&C yellow #10, FD&C blue #1, glycerin, glyceryl polymethacrylate, magnesium aluminum silicate, palmitoyl oligopeptide, PPG-20 methyl glucose ether, propylene glycol, purified water, and SD Alcohol 40B. Hydrocortisone acetate is an anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agent. Chemically, hydrocortisone acetate is [Pregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, 21-(acetyloxy)-11, 17-dihydroxy-, (11-ß)-] with the molecular formula (C 23 H 32 O 6 ) and is represented by the following structural formula: Iodoquinol is an antifungal and antibacterial agent. Chemically, Iodoquinol is [5,7-diiodo-8-quinolinol] with the molecular formula (C 9 H 5 I 2 NO) and is represented by the following structural formula: Aloe polysaccharides are a concentrated, water soluble subcomponent of aloe vera with a mono-sugar ratio of Man : Gal : Glc: 40 : 1.4 : 1.0, linkage of 1-4 ß - linkage, O-Acetyl group of 25% of sugar units, and specific rotation of [α]D= -3.98° at 23.2°C. Average molecular weight is 80,000 daltons. Chemically, aloe polysaccharides is represented by the following structural formula: structure1 structure2 structure3

INDICATIONS: Based on a review of a related drug by the National Research Council and subsequent FDA classification for that drug, the indications are as follows: “Possibly” Effective: Contact or atopic dermatitis; impetiginized eczema; nummular eczema; endogenous chronic infectious dermatitis; stasis dermatitis; pyoderma; nuchal eczema and chronic eczematoid otitis externa; acne urticata; localized or disseminated neurodermatitis; lichen simplex chronicus; anogenital pruritus (vulvae, scroti, ani); folliculitis; bacterial dermatoses; mycotic dermatoses such as tinea (capitis, cruris, corporis, pedis); monliasis; intertrigo. Final classification of the less-than-effective indications requires further investigation.

: Apply to affected area(s) three to four times per day or as directed by a physician. Follow your physician’s directions regarding length of treatment after symptoms resolve.

: This product is contraindicated in persons with known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of the product.

The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infections, skin atrophy, striae and miliaria.

STORAGE: Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C to 30°C (between 59°F to 86°F). Brief exposure to temperatures up to 40°C (104°F) may be tolerated provided the mean kinetic temperature does not exceed 25°C (77°F); however, such exposure should be minimized. Keep container tightly closed. NOTICE: Protect from freezing and excessive heat.
