In Treatment of Skin infections

Clocat-N Cream is a combination of medicines used to treat skin infections caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.

You should use Clocat-N Cream for as long as it is prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear, otherwise they may come back. Depending on the type of infection you are treating, this may be several weeks. Even after your infection is completely cured, you may have to apply it occasionally to prevent the symptoms from returning.

How to use Clocat-N Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Clocat-N Cream works

Clocat-N Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole and Neomycin, 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. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

FAQs

Can I stop using Clocat-N Cream when my symptoms are relieved?

No, do not stop using Clocat-N Cream without consulting your doctor. Use Clocat-N Cream in the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor. Usually, your condition will improve within a few days. If the condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, treatment and diagnosis should be re-evaluated. However, if the treatment is recommended to be continued for a longer duration, it should be done under medical supervision.

What precautions should I take while using Clocat-N Cream?

Clocat-N Cream should be used carefully only over the affected area, avoiding the medicine from getting into the eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing on the area being treated, as this will increase the absorption of the medicine and increase the risk of side effects. This medicine should only be used for the condition it is prescribed for. Do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Do not give it to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.

How to use Clocat-N Cream?

What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Clocat-N Cream for long periods?

Clocat-N Cream should be used only for the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. This medicine contains a steroid, clobetasol which when used in higher doses and for longer periods can get absorbed in the blood and cause adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It can cause weight gain, high blood pressure and rounding of the face. Its application can cause a change in color of skin at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become visible due to the thinning and weakening of the skin. There could be an increased hair growth. If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.

What are the contraindications associated with the use of Clocat-N Cream?

Use of Clocat-N Cream is considered to be harmful for patients with known allergy to any of the components or excipients of this medicine.
