From the Guidelines
Travocort is not currently available in Canada. This medication, which contains the active ingredients isoconazole nitrate (an antifungal) and diflucortolone valerate (a corticosteroid), is used in some countries to treat fungal skin infections with inflammatory components. Canadian patients requiring similar treatment would need to use alternative combination antifungal-corticosteroid products that are approved in Canada, such as Lotriderm (clotrimazole and betamethasone) or separate antifungal and corticosteroid medications used together. If you're seeking treatment for a fungal skin infection with inflammation, you should consult with a Canadian healthcare provider who can prescribe an appropriate alternative medication available in Canada. The unavailability of specific brand-name medications varies by country due to different regulatory approval processes, marketing decisions by pharmaceutical companies, and regional prescribing practices.
The provided evidence does not directly address the availability of Travocort in Canada, but it does discuss various treatments for skin conditions, including the use of topical corticosteroids and antifungal medications 1. However, these studies do not provide information on the availability of specific medications in Canada.
In the context of treating fungal skin infections with inflammatory components, it is essential to prioritize treatments that are available and approved in Canada, ensuring the best possible outcomes in terms of morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. Consulting a Canadian healthcare provider is crucial for determining the most appropriate treatment option available in Canada 1.
