SEBIFIN PLUS CREAM 15 GM

How SEBIFIN PLUS CREAM 15 GM Works

• SEBIFIN PLUS CREAM 15 GM is a powerful antifungal and anti-inflammatory medication designed to treat various skin infections effectively. Its unique formulation combines the potent antifungal action of Terbinafine with the anti-inflammatory and soothing properties of Clobetasol Propionate. This dual-action approach not only eradicates the fungal infection but also alleviates the associated symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling.
• Terbinafine, the primary antifungal component, belongs to the allylamine class of antifungals. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of the fungal cell membrane. Ergosterol is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of the fungal cell. By blocking the enzyme squalene epoxidase, Terbinafine disrupts the production of ergosterol, leading to its deficiency. This deficiency weakens the fungal cell membrane, making it permeable and leaky. Eventually, the fungal cell dies due to the loss of essential cellular contents and the inability to maintain its internal environment.
• Clobetasol Propionate, a highly potent corticosteroid, complements Terbinafine by addressing the inflammatory aspects of the skin infection. It works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness through multiple mechanisms. Clobetasol binds to glucocorticoid receptors inside cells, which then influence the expression of various genes involved in the inflammatory response. This leads to a decrease in the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and cytokines. By suppressing these mediators, Clobetasol effectively reduces the signs and symptoms of inflammation, providing relief from discomfort.
• The combined action of Terbinafine and Clobetasol Propionate in SEBIFIN PLUS CREAM 15 GM provides a comprehensive approach to treating skin infections. Terbinafine eliminates the underlying fungal cause, while Clobetasol reduces the associated inflammation and provides symptomatic relief. This synergistic effect results in faster healing, reduced recurrence rates, and improved patient comfort. The cream's formulation ensures that both active ingredients penetrate the affected skin area effectively, maximizing their therapeutic benefits. Regular application as directed by a healthcare professional is crucial to achieve optimal results and prevent the infection from recurring.

• If you forget to apply SEBIFIN PLUS CREAM 15 GM at the scheduled time, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep SEBIFIN PLUS CREAM 15GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store SEBIFIN PLUS CREAM 15GM at room temperature.

• Always wash and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying Sebifin Plus Cream. This helps ensure the medication can properly penetrate the skin and target the fungal infection effectively. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area and gently rub it in. Avoid applying excessive amounts, as a thin layer is sufficient for treatment.
• Use Sebifin Plus Cream consistently for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve within a few days. Prematurely stopping treatment can allow the fungal infection to return and potentially become resistant to the medication. Typically, treatment lasts for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the severity and type of infection.
• To prevent the spread of fungal infections, practice good hygiene. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying Sebifin Plus Cream. Avoid sharing towels, clothing, or personal items with others. Wear clean, breathable socks and change them daily, especially if you have a foot infection. Keep the affected area clean and dry.
• If you're treating a foot infection (athlete's foot), wear breathable shoes and socks made of cotton or other absorbent materials. Avoid wearing tight-fitting shoes that can trap moisture and create a favorable environment for fungal growth. Consider using antifungal powder in your shoes to further prevent recurrence.
• Be aware of potential side effects. While Sebifin Plus Cream is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience mild burning, stinging, itching, or redness at the application site. If these side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult your doctor or pharmacist. Allergic reactions are rare but possible; seek immediate medical attention if you experience swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing.

• SEBIFIN PLUS CREAM 15 GM is for external use only and is unlikely to interact with food. However, to avoid any potential interactions, it is advisable to apply the cream at least 30 minutes before or after meals. No specific food restrictions are necessary while using this medication.
