About Flucreme NM Ointment

Flucreme NM Ointment is a topical medical cream prescribed to treat inflammatory skin conditions that are complicated by bacterial or fungal infections. It is commonly used for skin issues like infected eczema, dermatitis, or severe rashes where itching, swelling, and microbial growth occur at the same time. By addressing inflammation and infection simultaneously, this medication helps clear the skin and relieve discomfort.

To achieve the best results, you should apply Flucreme NM Ointment consistently at the same times every day as directed by your healthcare provider. It is typically applied as a thin film directly to the clean, dry affected skin area once or twice daily. Along with using this cream, keeping your skin clean, dry, and wearing loose cotton clothing can significantly support your skin's healing process.

Most patients tolerate Flucreme NM Ointment well, but you may experience mild local skin reactions like a temporary burning, stinging, or mild redness where the cream is applied. If you notice severe skin irritation, worsening redness, swelling, or signs of an allergic reaction like hives, stop using the product and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Do not use Flucreme NM Ointment if you have viral skin infections like chickenpox or herpes, rosacea, perioral dermatitis (a rash around the mouth), a history of skin thinning, or poor blood circulation. It is also not suitable for individuals with a known allergy to any of its components, including neomycin or other aminoglycoside antibiotics, or for application on deep open wounds.

While topical medications have a low risk of interacting with oral drugs, you should still tell your doctor about other skin treatments you are using to avoid compounding skin irritation. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before applying this medication, as active ingredients can be absorbed through the skin.

FAQs

Flucreme NM Ointment is used to treat and control bacterial and fungal skin infections. It can effectively reduce symptoms associated with skin infections, such as swelling, itching and redness.
Flucreme NM Ointment contains Fluocinolone acetonide, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which makes the skin red, swollen and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal agent that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic used in treating bacterial infections of the skin. It prevents bacteria from synthesising essential proteins required to carry out vital functions. Together, Flucreme NM Ointment can effectively treat skin infections.
Flucreme NM Ointment may cause side effects such as dry skin, burning sensation, irritation, itching, redness, increase in hair growth and change in skin colour at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Flucreme NM Ointment is for topical use (for skin) only. Do not use Flucreme NM Ointment on the face and avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth and genitals. Do not put a bandage or a dressing on the affected area while using Flucreme NM Ointment unless advised by the doctor. While using Flucreme NM Ointment, do not contact anyone with shingles, chickenpox or measles. If you accidentally come in contact with any person having them, please inform your doctor immediately, as it requires special treatment if you have not had these illnesses.
Flucreme NM Ointment may raise blood glucose levels by interfering with insulin's action. So, it is recommended that you discuss the potential risks and benefits of Flucreme NM Ointment with your doctor before using this medicine.
Flucreme NM Ointment is not recommended to treat diaper rash or itching around the genital area as this medicine can pass through a child's skin easily, leading to adverse effects. So, it is always recommended to consult a doctor before taking Flucreme NM Ointment for any condition.
You should avoid using Flucreme NM Ointment on your face unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so. The skin on the face is thin and more prone to side effects like skin thinning or discoloration. Talk to your doctor for advice on treating facial skin conditions.
Many patients begin to feel relief from itching and redness within a few days of starting treatment. However, you should continue to use the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if your skin looks better. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after one week
Do not use Flucreme NM Ointment to treat diaper rash in babies unless a pediatrician specifically prescribes it. Using strong topical treatments under tight diapers can cause excessive absorption of the medicine, leading to unwanted side effects. Talk to your doctor for safe diaper rash alternatives. Children and infants may absorb topical corticosteroids more easily through their skin than adults. For this reason, Flucreme NM Ointment should only be used in children when specifically recommended by a healthcare professional.
The active ingredients in Flucreme NM Ointment can be absorbed through the skin in small amounts. You should only use this cream during pregnancy if your doctor determines that the benefits outweigh the risks. Talk to your doctor before using any new medication while pregnant.
You should avoid applying cosmetics, sunscreens, or other skin lotions directly over the treated area immediately after applying Flucreme NM Ointment. Wait until the cream is completely absorbed by your skin, or check with your doctor for specific advice on your skincare routine.
No, Flucreme NM Ointment should not be applied to deep, open wounds, severe burns, or raw skin areas. Applying it to broken skin can increase the absorption of the medicine into your bloodstream, which increases the risk of side effects. Talk to your doctor if you have open sores.
No, Flucreme NM Ointment is not effective against viral infections like cold sores, shingles, or chickenpox. In fact, using a steroid-containing cream on a viral infection can make it worse. Talk to your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate antiviral treatment.
