This medicine contains two active substances, isoconazole nitrate and diflucortolone valerate. Isoconazole nitrate treats fungal diseases of the skin and diflucortolone valerate suppresses inflammation of the skin and soothes complaints such as itching, burning and pain.
Travocort is used for the initial or interim treatment of those superficial fungal infections of the skin which are accompanied by highly inflammatory or eczematous skin conditions, e.g., in the region of the hands, the interdigital spaces of the feet, and in the groin and genital regions.

Travocort should be applied twice daily to the diseased areas of skin. Stop using Travocort when the skin conditions have improved. In general, the duration of treatment must not exceed 2 weeks.
