Description
Product Overview:
Tenovate-M Cream is a combination medication used to treat various types of skin infections, particularly those caused by fungal organisms. It works by reducing inflammation, such as redness, swelling, and itching, while also targeting the infection-causing microorganisms to promote healing. Tenovate-M is effective for treating fungal skin infections like athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and candidiasis, offering relief from symptoms and accelerating recovery.
Tenovate-M Cream is for external use only. It should be applied in a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin using clean, dry hands. Avoid getting the cream in your eyes, nose, mouth, or genital area. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. The medication may take several days to weeks to show noticeable improvements, and it is important to complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve before finishing the prescribed duration. If your condition worsens or does not improve, consult your doctor.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:
Each gram of Tenovate-M Cream contains:
- Clobetasol (0.05% w/w)
- Miconazole (2% w/w)
How to Use:
Apply Tenovate-M Cream only to the affected skin areas. Use the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying the cream. Gently apply a thin layer to the skin and wash your hands afterward (unless your hands are the affected area). Do not use it on broken or irritated skin, and avoid applying it to the face, underarms, or groin unless directed by your doctor.
Restrictions:
- Allergy: Do not use Tenovate-M if you are allergic to any of its components.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medication.
- Other Medications: Inform your doctor of any other medicines you are using, especially if treating the same or related conditions, as there may be drug interactions.
- Long-Term Use: Avoid using Tenovate-M Cream for prolonged periods without medical supervision, as prolonged steroid use can cause side effects.
How It Works:
Tenovate-M Cream combines two active ingredients that work synergistically to treat fungal skin infections:
- Clobetasol: A potent steroid that reduces inflammation by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins), which are responsible for causing redness, swelling, and itching.
- Miconazole: An antifungal agent that prevents the growth of fungi by interfering with their ability to form protective cell walls, ultimately stopping the infection from spreading.
Side Effects:
Most side effects are mild and may resolve as your body adjusts to the cream. However, if any side effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor. Common side effects include:
- Burning sensation
- Itching
- Skin pain or irritation at the application site
