TENOVATE GN CREAM is used to treat bacterial skin infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.
TENOVATE GN CREAM consists of two medicines, Clobetasol and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. On the other hand, Neomycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial and fungal infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Use this medication on the skin only as advised by the doctor. TENOVATE GN CREAM is generally safe to use. Some may experience side effects like burning, irritation, itching, redness, and thinning of skin at the application site. Most of these side effects of TENOVATE GN CREAM do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to TENOVATE GN CREAM or any of its components. Let your doctor know if you have any fungal infections (candida infections, ringworm or athlete's foot) or any viral infections (herpes or chickenpox), acne, rosacea (redness of the skin with small, red, pus-filled bumps on the face), and psoriasis. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use TENOVATE GN CREAM with proper consultation and caution. Sometimes, antibiotic medications can cause antibiotic resistance.
