Medicinal Benefits:
Mizoc Cream is a combination of two drugs, namely Clobetasol and Miconazole. Mizoc Cream is used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to fungal skin infections. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Miconazole is an antifungal that causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thereby, clears fungal infections and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
Mizoc Cream is used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by certain fungal skin infections.
No, Mizoc Cream is not recommended to treat acne as it may worsen the condition. Mizoc Cream is only used to reduce itching, swelling and redness caused due to certain skin infections. However, please consult a doctor before using Mizoc Cream.
You are recommended to use Mizoc Cream on the face only if advised by your doctor and do not use for more than 5 days on the face as the skin on face thins easily. Avoid the use of dressing or bandages on the face.
Mizoc Cream should be used with caution in children if prescribed by a doctor as Mizoc Cream contains a steroid and may increase the risk of Cushing’s syndrome, HPA axis suppression (suppression of inflammatory and immune responses), adrenal insufficiency, delayed growth and weight gain. However, please consult a doctor before using Mizoc Cream in children.
You are recommended to use Mizoc Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. However, if the condition does not improve after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment with Mizoc Cream, please consult a doctor.

Yes, fungal infection is a contagious skin condition which spreads from one person to another through direct skin to skin contact or by contact with contaminated soil or surfaces and infected animals. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid close direct contact until the infection is clear and avoid sharing things with the infected person as it can also spread the infection.
No, you are not recommended to stop using Mizoc Cream without consulting your doctor as it may worsen the condition or cause recurring infection. Therefore, take Mizoc Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it and if you experience any difficulty while taking Mizoc Cream, please consult your doctor.
Mizoc Cream contains Clobetasol (a corticosteroid) and Miconazole (an antifungal). Clobetasol works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. These chemicals are normally released when the skin reacts to allergens. On the other hand, Miconazole works by damaging fungal cell membranes, effectively killing the fungi.
The common side effects of Mizoc Cream include dry skin, itching, irritation, redness, and a burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Do not use Mizoc Cream in more than the prescribed doses or for a prolonged period, as this may cause adverse effects. Avoid wrapping or covering the treated area with bandages unless advised by your doctor. Do not apply Mizoc Cream to broken skin or cuts. Do not swallow Mizoc Cream; in case of accidental swallowing, contact a nearby poison control centre or consult your doctor immediately. Avoid smoking or going near open flames, as Mizoc Cream is flammable and burns easily. Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes; in case of accidental contact, rinse with water immediately.
No, do not stop using Mizoc Cream without consulting your doctor. To treat your condition effectively and prevent a recurrence of infection, continue using Mizoc Cream for the prescribed duration.
Using Mizoc Cream for a long time or at a higher than the recommended dose can make your skin thinner or cause stretch marks. The medicine may get absorbed into the bloodstream and can lead to serious side effects, such as adrenal gland problems, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), or problems with your eyesight. If you experience an increase in the severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Store Mizoc Cream in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children.
Mizoc Cream is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to any of its components. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please consult a doctor before using Mizoc Cream. It is not recommended for use in neonates and infants (up to 2 years) because absorption by immature skin may be enhanced, and their kidneys may be immature, leading to potential toxicity.
