NC-Derm+ Cream is a combination medicine used to treat various types of skin infections, minimizing symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching. NC-Derm+ 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.
NC-Derm+ 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.
Can I stop using NC-Derm+ Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue use of NC-Derm+ Cream without consulting your doctor. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration for treatment by your healthcare professional. Symptoms typically improve within a few days. If symptoms worsen or do not improve within seven days, reevaluation of treatment and diagnosis is necessary. However, if the treatment duration is extended, it should be done under medical supervision.
What precautions should I take while using NC-Derm+ Cream?
Apply NC-Derm+ Cream only to the affected area and avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply bandages or dressings over the treated area as this can increase medicine absorption and the risk of side effects. Use NC-Derm+ Cream solely for the condition it is prescribed for, and do not use it for any other conditions without consulting your doctor. Do not share this medication with others, even if their symptoms appear similar.
How to use NC-Derm+ Cream?
Apply NC-Derm+ Cream as directed by your healthcare provider or the instructions on the medicine label. Apply a thin layer to affected areas. Dosage will depend on the condition for which it is prescribed. Wash hands unless treating an infection of the hands. Avoid contact with eyes.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of NC-Derm+ Cream for long periods?
NC-Derm+ Cream should only be used as prescribed by your doctor and under their supervision. This medication contains a steroid, clobetasol, which when used in excess or for extended periods can enter the bloodstream and lead to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It can cause weight gain, high blood pressure, and facial roundness. It may also cause skin discoloration at the application site and veins beneath the skin become visible due to skin thinning. Hair growth may increase. If your symptoms worsen, please consult your doctor for a reevaluation.
What are the contraindications associated with the use of NC-Derm+ Cream?
NC-Derm+ Cream is not suitable for patients with known allergies to any component or excipient. Avoid its use in cases of primary skin lesions caused by fungal, bacterial, or yeast infections, viral infections such as herpes or chickenpox. Its use should also be avoided for acne or rosacea. Consult your doctor before using NC-Derm+ Cream.
