Tenovate NM Cream

Tenovate NM Cream

Composition:

• Clobetasol Propionate: 0.05% w/w (A potent topical corticosteroid)
• Miconazole: 2% w/w (An antifungal agent)
• Neomycin: 0.5% w/w (An antibiotic)

Mechanism of Action:

• Clobetasol Propionate: Works by reducing inflammation, redness, and itchiness of the skin. It does this by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the immune response in skin cells.
• Miconazole: Acts by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, leading to cell death. It interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes.
• Neomycin: An aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to cell death.

Dosage:

• Apply a thin layer of Tenovate NM Cream to the affected area(s) of the skin once or twice daily as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Do not apply more than recommended to avoid potential side effects.

Usage:

• Used for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions that are complicated by bacterial or fungal infections, such as eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis with superinfection.
• Not intended for use on the face, groin, or axilla unless advised by a healthcare professional due to the risk of skin thinning.

Side Effects: Possible side effects may include:

• Localized skin reactions (burning, stinging, itching)
• Thinning of the skin with prolonged use
• Allergic reactions (rash, hives)
• Systemic absorption effects (rare, but may lead to adrenal suppression if used over large areas or for extended periods)

Note: Report any unusual or severe side effects to a healthcare provider promptly.
