Introduction of Prederm NM Cream

Prederm NM Cream is a combination medicine used in the treatment of various types of skin infections. It minimizes symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching by acting against the infection-causing microorganisms.

Prederm NM Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.

The most common side effect of this medicine includes itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site. These are usually self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare. You must consult the doctor if you experience any allergic reaction (rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc.).

Before taking this medicine, it is important to tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines for the same disease or other diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take this medicine with proper consultation and caution. If you are a known allergic to the medicine, you must refrain from using this medicine. You should consult the doctor about prescribing an alternative medicine for your condition.

FAQs

Prederm NM Cream

Can I stop using Prederm NM Cream when my symptoms are relieved?

No, do not stop using Prederm NM Cream without consulting your doctor. Use Prederm NM Cream in the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor. Usually, your condition will improve within a few days. If the condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, treatment and diagnosis should be re-evaluated. However, if the treatment is recommended to be continued for a longer duration, it should be done under medical supervision.

What precautions should I take while using Prederm NM Cream?

Prederm NM Cream should be used carefully only over the affected area, avoiding the medicine from getting into the eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing on the area being treated, as this will increase the absorption of the medicine and increase the risk of side effects. This medicine should only be used for the condition it is prescribed for. Do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Do not give it to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.

How to use Prederm NM Cream?

Prederm NM Cream should be used as advised by the doctor or as per the instructions on the label of the medicine. Apply a thin layer of it to cover the affected areas. The dose would depend on the condition for which it is prescribed. Wash your hands after using Prederm NM Cream unless it is used for treating infection of the hands. Avoid contact with the eyes.

What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Prederm NM Cream for long periods?

Prederm NM Cream should be used only for the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. This medicine contains a steroid, clobetasol which when used in higher doses and for longer periods can get absorbed in the blood and cause adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It can cause weight gain, high blood pressure and rounding of the face. Its application can cause a change in color of skin at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become visible due to the thinning and weakening of the skin. There could be an increased hair growth. If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.

What are the contraindications associated with the use of Prederm NM Cream?

Use of Prederm NM Cream is considered to be harmful for patients with known allergy to any of the components or excipients of this medicine. Its use should be avoided in case of any primary infected skin lesions caused by infection with fungi, bacteria or yeast, viral infections (herpes or chickenpox). Its use should also be avoided in treating acne or rosacea. Consult your doctor before using it for any condition.

What are the instructions for the storage of Prederm NM Cream?

Prederm NM Cream should be stored at or below room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not freeze. Also, keep it away from the reach of pets and children.
