Introduction
Lobate M Cream is intended for external use and should be applied as directed by your doctor. It contains Clobetasol and Miconazole, which work together to treat skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid that reduces inflammation, while Miconazole is an antifungal that prevents fungal growth. Common side effects include itching, dryness, redness, and burning at the application site. Serious side effects are rare, but allergic reactions should be reported to a doctor. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine with caution and under medical supervision.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream. Wash your hands after application unless the hands are the affected area.
How it works
Lobate M Cream combines Clobetasol and Miconazole to treat skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid that blocks the production of chemical messengers causing inflammation. Miconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering.
Quick Tips
Lobate M 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 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
What precautions should I take while using Lobate M Cream?
When using Lobate M Cream, avoid applying it to the face and take care not to get it in your eyes.

Use Lobate M Cream only for the condition it was prescribed for and do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Additionally, do not share the medicine with others, even if their condition appears to be the same.
Can I stop taking Lobate M Cream when my symptoms are relieved?

If you experience an increase in the severity of your symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
