TEZCORT GM CREAM 15 GM

How TEZCORT GM CREAM 15 GM Works

• TEZCORT GM Cream 15 GM is a combination medication designed to treat various skin infections and inflammatory conditions. It contains three active ingredients: Beclometasone, Clotrimazole, and Neomycin, each working through different mechanisms to provide comprehensive relief.
• Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness by suppressing the release of inflammatory substances in the skin. It effectively calms down the overactive immune response that leads to these symptoms.
• Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that inhibits the growth of fungi by disrupting the formation of their cell membranes. It binds to the phospholipids in the fungal cell membrane, increasing membrane permeability. This leads to leakage of essential cellular contents, eventually killing the fungi. It is effective against a wide range of fungal infections.
• Neomycin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, preventing the attachment of tRNA and blocking the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain. This ultimately stops bacterial growth and helps clear bacterial infections.
• Together, these three components work synergistically to address mixed infections involving bacteria, fungi, and inflammation. Beclometasone reduces the inflammatory response, while Clotrimazole and Neomycin target the fungal and bacterial infections, respectively. This combination ensures that the underlying cause of the skin condition is treated effectively, leading to faster healing and relief from symptoms.
• When applied topically, the active ingredients are absorbed into the skin, where they exert their local effects. The cream base helps to deliver the medication directly to the affected area, maximizing its therapeutic potential while minimizing systemic absorption. This localized action reduces the risk of systemic side effects.
• For optimal results, TEZCORT GM Cream should be applied as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the cream. Regular application as prescribed is crucial for complete eradication of the infection and prevention of recurrence.

Possible side effects of Tezcort GM Cream may include: * **Common:** Itching, irritation, redness, burning or stinging sensation at the application site, dryness, folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles), hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth), acneiform eruptions (acne-like rash), hypopigmentation (lightening of skin). * **Uncommon:** Allergic contact dermatitis, skin atrophy (thinning of the skin), striae (stretch marks), secondary infection, Cushing's syndrome (due to prolonged use of large quantities), blurred vision.

• If you forget to apply Tezcort GM Cream, apply 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 schedule. Do not double the application to make up for the missed one.

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

• Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying TEZCORT GM Cream. This helps prevent contamination of the affected area and ensures the medication works effectively. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently rub it in. Do not apply a thick layer, as this will not improve its effectiveness and may increase the risk of side effects.
• TEZCORT GM Cream is for external use only. Avoid getting it in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not swallow the cream. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
• Use TEZCORT GM Cream only as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it for longer than recommended, even if your symptoms improve. Prolonged use can increase the risk of side effects, such as skin thinning or adrenal suppression. Do not use it for conditions other than what it was prescribed for.
• If you are using other topical medications, inform your doctor before using TEZCORT GM Cream. Some medications may interact with it, increasing the risk of side effects or decreasing its effectiveness. Apply TEZCORT GM Cream at a different time of day than other topical medications to minimize interactions. Consult your doctor for the appropriate application schedule.
• Store TEZCORT GM Cream at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze the cream. Dispose of the cream properly once it has expired or is no longer needed. Check with your pharmacist or local waste disposal company for proper disposal methods.

• There are no known interactions between TEZCORT GM CREAM 15 GM and food. This medication is applied topically and is unlikely to be affected by food intake. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms, consult your doctor.
