How it works
Clobica 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stop using Clobica Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue use of Clobica Cream without consulting your doctor. Continue using the prescribed dose for the duration as advised by your doctor. Usually, improvement is observed within a few days. However, if your condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, re-evaluation of treatment and diagnosis is necessary. Long-term treatment should only be done under medical supervision.
What precautions should I take while using Clobica Cream?
Use Clobica Cream carefully only over the affected area, avoiding contact with the eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing on the area being treated, as this will increase the absorption of the medicine and the risk of side effects. This medication should only be used for the condition it is prescribed for. Do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Also, do not give this to other people even if their condition appears similar.
How to use Clobica Cream?

What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Clobica Cream for long periods?
Clobica Cream should only be used in the prescribed dosage and duration. This medication contains a steroid, clobetasol, which can get absorbed into the blood when used at high doses for extended periods. This may lead to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It can also cause weight gain, high blood pressure, and a rounded face. Skin discoloration at the site of application, visible veins beneath the skin due to skin thinning and weakening, and increased hair growth might occur. If you experience increased symptom severity, consult your doctor for a reevaluation.
