Tenovate M Cream

Tenovate M Cream

Composition

• Clobetasol (0.05% w/w): A potent topical corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response in the skin.
• Miconazole (2% w/w): An antifungal agent that is effective against a variety of fungal and yeast infections.

Mechanism of Action

• Clobetasol: Reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and blocking the immune response in the skin. It also causes vasoconstriction, which reduces redness and swelling.
• Miconazole: Works by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to cell death and inhibition of fungal growth.

Dosage

• Application: Typically, a thin layer of Tenovate M Cream should be applied to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare provider.
• Duration: The duration of treatment should not exceed the period recommended by a physician, generally for a few weeks, depending on the severity of the condition.

Usage

• Indicated for the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders that are also complicated by secondary fungal infections, such as eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis.
• The cream should be applied only to the affected areas and should not be used on large body surfaces or under occlusive dressings unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Burning or stinging at the application site.
• Thinning of the skin (atrophy), particularly with prolonged use.
• Allergic reactions, leading to rash, itching, or swelling.
• Systemic effects from prolonged use, such as adrenal suppression or Cushing’s syndrome.

Recommendations

• Use only as prescribed and avoid exceeding the recommended duration of treatment.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and open wounds.
• Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
• Discuss any existing skin conditions or allergies with your healthcare provider prior to use.

Important Note

• This medication is for external use only and should not be ingested.
• Do not use in children unless directed by a healthcare professional; the risk of systemic absorption is higher in pediatric patients.
• Monitor for signs of adverse reactions, particularly if used for extended periods. If any unusual symptoms occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children.
