Medicinal Benefits:
Tenovate-M Cream is a combination of two drugs, namely Clobetasol and Miconazole. Tenovate-M 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.

Tenovate-M 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 Tenovate-M 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.
