FCB-GM Cream 15 gm

FCB-GM Cream is used to treat swelling, itching, and redness caused due to bacterial or fungal skin infections. FCB-GM Cream effectively treats bacterial and fungal skin infections. Bacterial skin infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow on the skin and cause infection. They often appear as small, red bumps on the skin, which gradually increase in size. Fungal skin infection is a disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue (mostly sweaty areas that don't get enough airflow) and causes an infection. 

FCB-GM Cream is a combination of three drugs: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks prostaglandin production (chemical messengers) that cause symptoms of skin infections such as redness, swelling and itching. Miconazole is an antifungal agent that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. FCB-GM Cream may cause side effects such as dry skin, burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects are mild and temporary. They do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Do not take FCB-GM Cream if you are allergic to any of its components. Before taking FCB-GM Cream, inform your doctor if you have any viral infections, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, adrenal gland problems, skin atrophy (thinning of the skin) or liver diseases. Inform your doctor if you are scheduled for any surgery. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You should not use FCB-GM Cream cream on broken skin, open wounds or cuts.

FCB-GM Cream is a combination of three drugs: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic that inhibits the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Together, FCB-GM Cream can effectively treat skin infections.

FCB-GM Cream is not recommended for use on larger areas of skin. Do not use it for prolonged periods unless prescribed by your doctor. It would be best if you did not cover the treated area with a bandage or plaster, especially the face, without checking with your doctor. Do not use the medicine in and around your eyes. If the medicine accidentally gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or genitals, rinse with water thoroughly. If you notice any persistent skin irritation or worsening of the skin disease, stop using FCB-GM Cream, and inform your doctor immediately.

Bacterial skin infections: Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Some examples of bacterial skin infections are cellulitis (redness and swelling on the legs, especially lower legs) and impetigo (red sores on the face, hands, and feet, mostly seen in children) and staphylococcal infections on the skin (boils or oozing blisters on the skin).

Fungal skin infections: Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and cause infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Common types of fungal infections are athlete's foot (infection between the toes) and yeast infections (infections caused by candida in the armpit or groin). Fungal infection symptoms include scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation and redness.
