How it works
Laclobet 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 Laclobet NM Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue use of Laclobet NM Cream without consulting your doctor. Adhere to the prescribed dose and duration for optimal treatment. While improvement may occur within a few days, if symptoms worsen or do not improve after seven days, re-evaluation of treatment and diagnosis is essential. However, if continued treatment is recommended beyond this period, it should be done under medical supervision.
What precautions should I take while using Laclobet NM Cream?
Use Laclobet NM Cream carefully, focusing on the affected area and avoiding contact with the eyes. Do not cover the treated area with dressings as this can enhance absorption and potentially increase side effects. This medication should only be used for the specifically prescribed condition. It is crucial to avoid using it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Moreover, do not administer Laclobet NM Cream to others even if their conditions appear similar.
How to use Laclobet NM Cream?
Laclobet NM Cream should be used as prescribed by your doctor or according to the labeling instructions. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area. The dosage will depend on the specific condition for which it is prescribed. Ensure proper hand washing unless the medication is being applied for hand infections, but avoid contact with eyes.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Laclobet NM Cream for long periods?
Laclobet NM Cream should only be used according to your doctor's instructions and the label's prescribed dosage. This medication contains clobetasol, a steroid that can enter the bloodstream with prolonged and high-dose use. This can lead to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome, weight gain, elevated blood pressure, and facial rounding. The application of Laclobet NM Cream may cause skin discoloration at the treated area. Increased visibility of veins beneath the skin is also possible due to thinning and weakening of the skin. There might be noticeable changes in hair growth. If symptoms worsen or if you experience any side effects, consult your doctor for an evaluation.
What are the contraindications associated with the use of Laclobet NM Cream?
Laclobet NM Cream is contraindicated in individuals with known allergies to its components or excipients. Use should be avoided in cases of infected skin lesions caused by fungi, bacteria, or yeast, viral infections (herpes or chickenpox), and acne or rosacea.
