Medicinal Benefits:

Neo-CB Cream comprises Clotrimazole, Neomycin, and Beclometasone. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that treats bacterial and fungal skin infections. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions and has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) and makes the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. With its anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive properties, Beclometasone treats eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.

Neo-CB Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If Neo-CB Cream gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water. Do not put a bandage or a dressing on the affected area while using Neo-CB Cream unless advised by the doctor. Do not apply Neo-CB Cream on sunburns, open wounds, lesions and blisters.

You are required to maintain at least a three-hour gap after application of Neo-CB Cream if you are using more than one topical medicine.

Please do not stop using Neo-CB Cream on your own even if the symptoms are relieved. Your symptoms may improve before the skin infection is completely cured. Continue the usage of Neo-CB Cream until your course advised by the doctor is finished.

Generally, Neo-CB Cream starts working within a few hours. However, its effectiveness depends on the severity of the infection, dose, and frequency of administration. To ensure optimal effectiveness and minimize side effects, follow your doctor's instructions on dosing and treatment duration.

When used as directed by the doctor, Neo-CB Cream is generally safe. However, like all medications, it might cause negative effects and interact with other medications. To reduce your risk, follow your doctor's instructions, report any pre-existing or present medical issues, and share your drug history. Please notify your healthcare practitioner of any allergies or concerns.

Apply a thin layer of cream with clean and dry hands on the skin's affected areas. You can also apply it with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab on the skin. Gently rub the medicine into the skin until it is disappeared. Wash your hands before and after applying the cream on the affected areas unless the treatment is for hands.

Don't take more than the recommended dose of Neo-CB Cream, as overusing it may not provide additional relief and instead increases the risk of adverse effects such as skin thinning, changes in skin colour, excessive hair growth, and secondary infections. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding dose and duration for optimal results without side effects.

Do not use Neo-CB Cream on open wounds, blisters, and lesions. Moreover, Neo-CB Cream is not intended for oral, ophthalmic (eye), or intravaginal use.

These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.
