Introduction
Clomek Cream is intended for external use only and should be applied as directed by your doctor. It should be applied in a thin layer to the affected areas 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 symptoms to improve, but continue using the medicine regularly. Complete the course of treatment for better efficacy. If your condition does not improve or worsens, consult your doctor. Common side effects include itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site, which are usually self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare. Consult your doctor if you experience any allergic reactions. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other medicines. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine with caution and proper consultation.
Directions for Use
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 it works
Clomek Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause redness, swelling, and itching. Miconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Neomycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria.
Quick Tips
Clomek Cream must be applied as a thin layer on the affected area as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Before each application, wash the affected area with soap and water and dry well. Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 2-4 weeks of treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stop using Clomek Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop using Clomek Cream without consulting your doctor. Use Clomek Cream in the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor. If your condition improves within a few days, continue use as directed. However, if your condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, treatment and diagnosis should be re-evaluated. 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 Clomek Cream?
Use Clomek 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 increase 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. Do not give it to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.
How to use Clomek Cream?
Clomek 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 will depend on the condition for which it is prescribed. Wash your hands after using Clomek Cream unless it is used for treating infection of the hands.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Clomek Cream for long periods?
Clomek Cream should be used only for the dose and duration as advised by the doctor.

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