Medi Quattro First Aid Cream

Severe reaction – The ingredients in this are harsh and put me in hospital with a 2cm thick rash that was un-itchable it was that itchy for 2 months! I used a tiny little bit and it was disgusting. How a cream can be released with such side affects is astounding. I’m glad it’s discontinued, and to the people who said they’re annoyed about it, go through what I had to… thank god this drug is now banned! Show details

instant relieve – Works fast and very affected it also numbs the affected area ,I like this . Show details

How am I going to survive without this fantastic cream? – This cream has been my 'go to' antiseptic and stop itch cream for many years. I use this cream for mozzie bites and leech bites, I seem to react badly to both but the local antiesthetic and antibacterial properties relives the incredible itch and stops the scratching which can prolong the irritation and leave a scar. Please bring this product back. Show details

The most effective cream for first aid – It was the best first aid cream I came across with. Devastated to know that it no longer available in Australia. Works on literally everything and numbs the pain straightaway. Show details

Magical! – Is this banned now? That’s ridiculous! My partner ans I both had an abscess (I had two) on our arms about 10cm diameter which was killing us for a few weeks til we found out what they were. In the mean time I was using this creme by the tube full each day mostly for the anasthetic properties since it had lidocaine, (he used a lot of alcohol hand… Read more

sanitizer as he had seen these before and knew they were bacterial) But while he had to get his cut out leaving a MASSIVE hole 5cm deep in his arm, mine slowly slowly went away! Took a couple of months to go completely but started shrinking in a week. They were so painful and huge they took up half my small arm and if I left it I could have lost my hand if it grew! Nooone can believe I got rid of such an awful abcess with just creme! I did use a lot. But we have pictures of my partners arm with the hole in it and noones believes mine were just as bad if not worse and I didn’t need surgery! He has the grossest scar on his arm now and I don’t even know where mine were now! This was 2012 I think. There is one I just bought called something else but the packaging looks the same and it has the cross on the left. Is it the same thing no name brand? I’d hate to lose this creme as it is an absolutely magical thing!

Medi Quattro and Antiseptic Plus are remarkable effective products that have many years of use – I have been using this product daily for over thirty years with no ill effects at all. It was first marketed as Paraderm, later Medi-Quattro and copied exactly by Chemists' Own as Antiseptic Plus. It relieves irritation in underarms caused by some deodorants, it relieves irritation caused by jock itch and hemorrhoids . but the best… Read more

recommendation that was ever given was once I was hospital ridden for two weeks and my back broke out with all sorts of itchy and painful spots from laying on the plastic mattresses under the hospital sheets. I had a friend bring me some Medi Quattro and asked the nurse to rub it on my back She said she had never heard of it before but did as I asked. The very next day she returned to see how I was getting along. She looked at my back and remarked in amazement that my back had almost completely cleared up over night. She said many people suffered for the same thing I did and she said if she had to buy it herself she would use it on the many of her patients who suffered from the plastic covered mattresses.

Numerous, if not all, medicines state in their instruction that if you are allergic to any ingredient in them not to use it. Why should Medi Quatro and it's many copies be any different? Stop this silly ban of a product that goes more good than harm

Terrible allergic reaction – I had such a bad reaction to the active ingredient in this cream (Bufexamac) that I was in hospital for close to a week. I had a burning, bright red, itchy rash that spread over my head, neck, chest and all the way down to my legs. While it's fine for most people, it can cause a severe allergic reaction for others, including small children. This cream can't be sold anymore but if you have it in your medicine cabinet, throw it out. Show details

can't live without it – I am using this First aid cream a long time, Since 2003. At the Blacksmiths Beach we bitten of many sandflies! Nothing stopped the itching then Medi Quattro First Aid Cream. Show details

Very useful cream! – I have used this cream for my Dad's wound on his chest, it was like bite of some parasites, red and infected. He refused to go and see his gp so I went to pharmacy and found this cream. It only took a day or 2 and the infected skin was already progressing to heal really well. Recommending this cream for first aid use.

Chicken pox lifesaver – Used this product and Soov while both my kids had chicken pox. Applied it straight after an oatmeal bath. Both kids said it stopped and soothed their itchiness and they both had minimal scarring. I always keep a tube in my medicine cabinet.

I had similar reactions – Initially the anaesthetic soothed the rash on my arm, I put more cream on it and it got worse starting to blister and very itchy. Then I read the label if you have a history of eczema or allergies or rash don't use. Now I'm trying steroid cream and hoping for the best. Australia has lots of products banned in other countries - roundup is one of them, now this is too. I'm going to throw it away.

Best ever! – I have had an ear problem for 20 years itchy inflamed an down right anoying and this cleared it up in a week when doctor's never could . Love this cream it is so great. Always carry it with me for cuts burns it is just the best.

Severe allergy reaction potential – Bufexamac which is an active chemical of Medi Quattro has proven to cause a severe contact dermatitis allergic skin reaction at higher levels than acceptable by many developed countries. It has never been approved in USA or Canada. The approval for it's use was revoked in Europe in 2010. Why is it still sold in Australia? I have researched this… Read more

product since becoming an innocent victim. I have just endured the worst two weeks of my life after applying this product to a minor skin irritation. A very severe rash spread to approximately 80℅ of my body with unbearable burning itching and fluid retention. Powerful corticosteroid ointments and tablets were needed to eventually get it under control.

After two hospital emergency visits and a multitude of tests a doctor realised that he had treated a young girl with even worse symptoms than mine just weeks earlier. She had Medi Quattro applied to a simple sand fly bite and spent two weeks in hospital with horrific blisters.

This allergic reaction is most probably under diagnosed because the symptoms can be easily mistaken for a progression of the original complaint.

There is very limited research information available but it appears that 4%-5% of the population could be at risk.

I believe there are safer alternatives to Bufexamac and that it's approval should be revoked in Australia.

Prevents Infections & Eases Pain – Medi-Quattro is the best first aid cream I have used. After proper cleaning of the wound, applying Medi-Quattro and an adhesive bandage, there has never been the slightest sign of infection. Prompt action is important. Although other first aid creams also do a great job of combating infection, Medi-Quattro differs by including Lignocaine… Read more

Hydrochloride, an anaesthetic that numbs local pain. It has been successful in easing my localised pain from cuts, insect bites, stings, burns, sunburn, blisters, and abrasions. For burns, I ran the area under cold water for quite a while to get rid of the heat, before applying the cream.

I noticed the treated areas are moisturised and for me, my injuries seemed to heal faster than by using other products. For open injuries, the dressing was changed twice daily and the cream was applied at each change.

The ingredient, Bufexamac, has anti-inflammatory properties to ease swelling and redness. It has worked well for me in reducing the red swellings from green ant, mosquito, and sand fly bites. A warning on the product cautions possible skin reactions in some people, but Medicreme is the same product minus the anti-inflammatory properties. I used it before Medi-Quattro with equally good results. The combinations of ingredients has been welcome relief to stop me from scratching the red lumps caused by insect bites, which often makes the condition much worse.

Medi-Quattro, (or Medicreme), is my choice for first aid cream because it treats the injuries and reduces the pain at the same time. A tube is in my car’s first aid kit as well as the home medical cabinet.

Excellent product! – Medi Quattro First Aid Cream is a fabulous product. I have used it for about five years on all cuts and abrasions in our household, and its gentle anaesthetic helps to settle the kids after an injury. I currently have sunburnt legs that have been very painful and I have found it hard to wear pants or even sleep but once I applied the Medi Cream,… Read more

my sunburn pain immediately subsided allowing me to go back to normality! It is highly recommended for us as an antiseptic cream for all occasions. There are generic brands available now that work just as well, for a smaller price.

Good all round first aid cream – Medi Quattro First Aid Cream should be in everyone's first aid cabinet or kit. It's great for just about everything - cuts, bites, stings, itchiness, sunburn, burns and minor abrasions. It's an all round antiseptic which also calms any itches or painful bites. It comes in a 50gram tube for around $10 and well worth every cent as far as I'm concerned. It's great for just about everything
