How Clobenate M Cream works

Clobenate M Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Miconazole, which treats skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

FAQs

What precautions should be taken while using Clobenate M Cream?

If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
