What is Aflumycin?

Aflumycin is a combination topical medication formulated to treat skin inflammations that are accompanied by a bacterial infection. It contains two active ingredients: gentamicin, which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and prednisolone, a corticosteroid that has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. This dual-action cream is prescribed when a skin condition has both inflammatory symptoms (like redness, swelling, and itching) and a secondary bacterial infection that needs to be cleared. By addressing both issues simultaneously, Aflumycin provides comprehensive treatment for complex skin problems, helping to restore the skin’s health and appearance. It is typically available as a cream or ointment for direct application to the affected area.

How does Aflumycin work?

Aflumycin works through the combined therapeutic actions of its two active ingredients, gentamicin and prednisolone. The gentamicin component is an antibiotic that belongs to the aminoglycoside class. It functions by stopping the growth of bacteria on the skin. It does this by preventing the bacteria from producing proteins that are essential for their survival, effectively killing them and clearing the infection. The prednisolone component is a synthetic corticosteroid. It works by suppressing the body’s inflammatory response. Prednisolone decreases the release of inflammatory substances, which helps to reduce the symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching. Together, these two ingredients provide a two-pronged approach: the antibiotic treats the underlying bacterial cause, while the corticosteroid soothes the uncomfortable inflammatory symptoms.

Who is Aflumycin for?

Aflumycin is for adults and children (under a doctor’s supervision) who are diagnosed with inflammatory skin conditions, known as dermatoses, that have become secondarily infected with bacteria. This medication is ideal for patients who need both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment. Conditions that may benefit from Aflumycin include infected eczema, contact dermatitis with a suspected bacterial component, and other corticosteroid-responsive skin disorders where a bacterial infection is present or likely to develop. It is not intended for primary viral or fungal skin infections. A doctor should confirm the presence of a bacterial infection before prescribing this combination therapy to ensure it is the appropriate treatment for your specific condition.

Dosage and administration

Aflumycin should be applied as a thin layer to the affected skin area exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Before application, gently wash and dry the affected area. Squeeze a small amount of the cream onto your fingertip and rub it gently into the skin until it has been absorbed. The frequency of application is typically a few times per day, but this can vary depending on the severity of the condition and your doctor’s recommendation. Do not cover the treated area with occlusive bandages unless advised to do so. Always wash your hands after applying the medication unless your hands are the area being treated. For best results, use Aflumycin for the full duration prescribed to prevent the infection from returning.

Side effects

Common side effects of Aflumycin are typically localized to the skin where the cream is applied. These reactions may include a burning or stinging sensation, irritation, itching, redness, or dryness of the skin. While these effects are usually mild and may disappear as your skin adapts, you should contact your doctor if they persist or become bothersome. Other, less common side effects can include acne-like breakouts, unwanted hair growth (hypertrichosis), or changes in skin color (hypopigmentation). Long-term or excessive use can lead to skin thinning (atrophy). If you experience any severe reactions or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.
