NCP Cream belongs to the class of dermatological medication, primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.
NCP Cream consists of two medicines, namely: Clobetasol (corticosteroid) and Nadifloxacin (antibacterial). Clobetasol is a highly potent corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic (relieves itching) and vasoconstrictive (narrows blood vessels) properties. It blocks the production of chemical mediators of inflammation (such as kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes, prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. On the other hand, Nadifloxacin is an antibacterial drug. It is bactericidal and works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It prevents bacterial growth by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria.
Use NCP Cream on the skin only as advised by the doctor. NCP Cream is generally safe to use. Some may experience side effects like burning, irritation, itching, redness and skin thinning at the application site. Most of these side effects of NCP Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth while using NCP Cream. Rinse it off with water thoroughly if you get the medication in these areas. Brief your medical history to doctor, if you are allergic to NCP Cream or any of its components. Therapy with topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol should be administered cautiously in patients with bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoa infections. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history of liver, kidney diseases, glaucoma, cataract, poor blood circulation, immune system problems, diabetes and adrenal gland diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use NCP Cream with proper consultation and caution.
