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.

Before taking this medicine, it is important to tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines for the same disease or other diseases.

You should consult the doctor about prescribing an alternative medicine for your condition.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.
How it works
Funzi NM Lotion is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin, which treats skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Quick Tips
Funzi NM Lotion 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 Funzi NM Lotion when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue use of Funzi NM Lotion without consulting your doctor. Use Funzi NM Lotion as prescribed by the doctor, typically for a duration determined based on the severity and response to treatment. Improvement in symptoms is generally expected within a few days. If the condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, re-evaluation of treatment and diagnosis is necessary. However, if your doctor recommends continued use for a longer period, it should be done under medical supervision.
What precautions should I take while using Funzi NM Lotion?
Funzi NM Lotion should only be applied to the affected area with care, avoiding contact with the eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing over the treated area, as this may increase absorption and risk of side effects. This medication is intended for use specifically on the condition it was prescribed for. It must not be used for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Sharing Funzi NM Lotion with others, even if their condition appears similar, should be avoided.
How to use Funzi NM Lotion?
Funzi NM Lotion is intended for topical application and should be applied as instructed by the doctor or as indicated on the product's label. A thin layer of the medication should be applied to the affected areas. The dosage will depend on the specific condition being treated. After applying Funzi NM Lotion, wash your hands unless it is used to treat a skin infection of the hands.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Funzi NM Lotion for long periods?
Funzi NM Lotion should only be used at the prescribed dose and duration. This medication contains clobetasol, a potent steroid, which, when used in higher doses or for prolonged durations, can be absorbed into the bloodstream, potentially leading to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It may cause weight gain, high blood pressure, and facial rounding. The medication can also cause changes in skin color at the site of application, with visible veins becoming apparent due to thinning and weakening of the skin. There might also be increased hair growth. If you experience a worsening of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for reevaluation.
What are the contraindications associated with the use of Funzi NM Lotion?
Funzi NM Lotion is not recommended for patients with known allergies to any of its components or excipients. Its use should be avoided in cases of primary infected skin lesions caused by fungi, bacteria, or yeast infections. It must also not be used to treat acne or rosacea. Please consult your doctor before using it for any condition.
