How it works
Mycoban B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Clotrimazole. Beclometasone is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Mycoban B Cream for the treatment of fungal skin infections. It is for use on skin only. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. 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. If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Mycoban B Cream and consult your doctor. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 2 weeks of treatment.
