Introduction
Viclob N Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. Wash your hands before and after the application of the medicine. 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. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying unless hands are the affected area.
How it works
Viclob N Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Neomycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Quick Tips
Apply the cream to the affected area as a thin film two or three times daily or as advised by your doctor. Do not use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor if your skin problem hasn't improved after seven days of treatment. Do not apply it to broken skin and avoid getting it in your eyes, nose, or mouth. 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. It may cause temporary burning, itching, or redness at the application site. This is usually mild. Consult your doctor if you experience a more severe reaction.
