Clobederm-NN Ointment Uses

Clobederm-NN Ointment uses include treating a range of inflammatory and complicated skin conditions. It combines a potent corticosteroid (clobetasol) with antibiotic (neomycin) and antifungal (nystatin). This helps reduce inflammation, redness, itching, and to help prevent or treat secondary bacterial and fungal infections on affected skin.

Clobederm-NN Ointment is commonly used for:

• Eczema (atopic and other forms of dermatitis)
• Psoriasis (limited plaques)
• Redness
• Swelling
• Itching of inflamed skin
• Secondary bacterial infections
• Fungal infections such as candidal involvement
• Other chronic inflammatory dermatoses when milder agents have failed

Always use as directed by your doctor.

Adult & Children Dosage:

• Apply a thin layer of ointment to the affected area once or twice daily or as prescribed.
• Duration of use is usually short-term (usually not more than 2 – 4 weeks) and only under medical supervision.

How to Use:

• Clean and dry the skin thoroughly before application.
• Avoid applying to large body areas, face, eyes, and mucous membranes unless specifically directed by a physician.
• Do not use occlusive dressings unless advised.

• Are allergic to clobetasol, neomycin, nystatin, or any other component of the ointment.
