Key dermatology opinion leaders recently concluded that topical steroid medication and conventional moisturizers may not be enough to stop the cycle of recurrent hand eczema. They endorsed a treatment regimen that consists of a 4-step process:

1. CLEANSE
2. MEDICATE
3. MOISTURIZE
4. PROTECT

Tetrix™ Cream provides what's missing in the treatment regimen

When you write a prescription for Tetrix™ Cream, the pharmacist provides your patient with a special package that is designed to help achieve optimal outcomes.

Package includes:

• Two 2 oz. tubes of Tetrix™ Cream
• Two complimentary 2 oz. tubes of CeraVe^® Moisturizing Cream and a coupon for one full-sized CeraVe^® product
• Instructions for how to use the products together

Step 1—Cleanse:

Instruct patients to wash hands and affected areas with an alcohol-free, moisturizing cleanser like CeraVe^® Hydrating Cleanser, then gently pat dry.

Step 2—Medicate:

Medications should be applied per your instructions.

Step 3—Moisturize:

Instruct patients to wait several minutes, then apply a moisturizer like CeraVe^® Moisturizing Cream to cover hands and affected areas. They should gently massage it into their hands and affected areas until all the cream is absorbed into the skin. Unlike other moisturizers, CeraVe^® Moisturizing Cream replenishes key components (physiologic lipids, ceramides, and phytosphingosines) that help repair the skin's natural protective function.

Step 4—Protect:

Instruct patients to wait several minutes, then apply Tetrix™ Cream to hands and affected areas. They should gently massage into hands and affected areas. Since Tetrix™ Cream provides a barrier to protect the skin, remind patients that Tetrix™ Cream is the last step in their regimen.

Prescribe Tetrix™ Cream for your patients today to protect against irritants and allergens to help stop the cycle of recurrent hand eczema.
