Description
Product Overview
Tenovate GN Cream is a topical treatment used to manage various types of bacterial skin infections. This combination cream works by reducing symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching while also preventing the growth of infection-causing microorganisms, aiding faster healing.
Key Ingredients/Salt Composition
Tenovate GN Cream contains the following active ingredients:
- Clobetasol (0.05% w/w): A potent steroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for these symptoms.
- Neomycin (0.5% w/w): An antibiotic that works by preventing bacterial growth. It interferes with protein synthesis in bacteria, stopping their ability to carry out essential functions and thus treating the infection.
How to Use
- Application: Tenovate GN Cream is for external use only. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area as directed by your doctor.
- Instructions: Clean and dry the affected skin before applying the cream. Wash your hands before and after application to avoid spreading the infection or contaminating other areas.
- Frequency: Use the medicine for the entire prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve before the treatment course is complete.
- Avoid Contact with Eyes: If the cream comes into contact with your eyes, mouth, nose, or genital area, rinse thoroughly with water.
Restrictions
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this cream to ensure it is safe for their condition.
- Allergic Reactions: Do not use Tenovate GN Cream if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
- Infection Control: Avoid scratching or touching the infected area, as this may worsen or spread the infection.
How Tenovate GN Cream Works
Tenovate GN Cream is a combination of Clobetasol and Neomycin, which work together to treat bacterial skin infections:
- Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and alleviates symptoms such as redness and swelling. It works by blocking the production of inflammatory substances in the skin.
- Neomycin is an antibiotic that targets bacteria, preventing them from producing essential proteins necessary for their survival and reproduction, thereby halting the infection.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Tenovate GN Cream may include:
- Burning sensation
- Stinging sensation
- Itching
These side effects are typically mild and should resolve on their own as your body adjusts to the medication. If the side effects persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor.
