Metclo-NM Cream is a combination medicine used to treat various types of skin infections, minimizing symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching. Metclo-NM Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina, rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.
Metclo-NM Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Neomycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
What happens if I stop using Metclo-NM Cream too soon?
Do not stop using Metclo-NM Cream without consulting your doctor. Use Metclo-NM 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.
How to use Metclo-NM Cream safely?
Metclo-NM 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.
What are the correct instructions for using Metclo-NM Cream?
Metclo-NM Cream should be used as advised by the doctor or as per the instructions on the label of the medicine. Apply a thin layer of it to cover the affected areas. The dose would depend on the condition for which it is prescribed.
What can happen if I use too much Metclo-NM Cream?
