How it works
Clobster 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stop using Clobster NM Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, it is essential to consult your doctor before stopping the use of Clobster NM Cream. Use the cream as directed by your doctor, and do not discontinue treatment without medical guidance. Typically, your condition will improve within a few days. If your condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, it is recommended to re-evaluate your treatment and diagnosis. If your doctor recommends continuing treatment for a longer duration, it should be done under their supervision.
What precautions should I take while using Clobster NM Cream?
When using Clobster NM Cream, it is crucial to follow these precautions: apply the cream only to the affected area, avoiding contact with the eyes. Do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing, as this may increase the absorption of the medicine and increase the risk of side effects. Use the cream only for the condition it is prescribed for, and do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Additionally, do not share the cream with others, even if their condition appears to be the same.
How to use Clobster NM Cream?
Clobster NM Cream should be used as directed by your doctor or according to the instructions on the label. Apply a thin layer of the cream to cover the affected areas. The dose will depend on the condition for which it is prescribed. Wash your hands after using the cream, unless you are treating an infection on your hands. Avoid contact with your eyes when using the cream.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Clobster NM Cream for long periods?
Clobster NM Cream should only be used for the dose and duration advised by your doctor. The cream contains a steroid, clobetasol, which can be absorbed into the blood when used in higher doses or for longer periods. This may lead to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome, causing symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and rounding of the face. It may also cause changes in skin color, thinning and weakening of the skin, and increased hair growth. If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
What are the contraindications associated with the use of Clobster NM Cream?
Clobster NM Cream is contraindicated in patients with known allergies to any of its components or excipients. It should also be avoided in patients with primary infected skin lesions caused by fungal, bacterial, or yeast infections, viral infections (herpes or chickenpox), or acne or rosacea. Consult your doctor before using the cream for any condition.
What are the instructions for the storage of Clobster NM Cream?
Clobster NM Cream should be stored at or below room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not freeze the cream. Keep it out of reach of pets and children.
