How it works
Cosvate-GM++ Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin, which treats skin infections. 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.
Quick Tips
Cosvate-GM++ 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
How long do I need to continue using Cosvate-GM++ Cream after my symptoms improve?
It is essential to use Cosvate-GM++ Cream in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Typically, your condition will improve within a few days. However, if your condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, you should consult your doctor for re-evaluation and further treatment. If your doctor recommends continuing the treatment for a longer period, it is crucial to do so under their supervision.
What precautions should I take while using Cosvate-GM++ Cream?
When using Cosvate-GM++ Cream, you must exercise caution by applying the cream only to the affected area and avoiding contact with your eyes. It is also essential not to cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing, as this can increase the absorption of the medicine and potentially lead to side effects. Furthermore, it is crucial to use Cosvate-GM++ Cream only for the condition it was prescribed for and not to share it with others, even if their symptoms appear similar.
How do I properly use Cosvate-GM++ Cream?
To use Cosvate-GM++ Cream effectively, follow the instructions provided by your doctor or those on the label of the medicine. Apply a thin layer of the cream to cover the affected area as advised by your healthcare professional. The dose and duration will depend on the specific condition being treated. Be sure to wash your hands after using the cream unless it is being used to treat an infection on your hands. Avoid contact with your eyes.
What are the potential consequences of using a higher than recommended dose of Cosvate-GM++ Cream for extended periods?
Using Cosvate-GM++ Cream in excess of the recommended dose and duration can lead to absorption of the steroid clobetasol into your bloodstream, causing adrenal suppression and potentially resulting in Cushing's syndrome. This may manifest as weight gain, high blood pressure, and rounding of the face. Additionally, prolonged use can cause skin thinning at the application site, leading to visible veins beneath the skin and increased hair growth. If you experience an escalation of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
What conditions make it contraindicated to use Cosvate-GM++ Cream?
Cosvate-GM++ Cream should not be used in patients with known allergies to its components or excipients. Its application is also contraindicated for primary infected skin lesions caused by fungal, bacterial, or yeast infections, as well as viral infections like herpes or chickenpox. Furthermore, it should not be used to treat acne or rosacea without consulting a doctor first.
How do I store Cosvate-GM++ Cream properly?
