Triben CN Cream belongs to the class of dermatological medication, primarily used to treat fungal skin infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Fungi can live in the air, soil, water and plants. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin.
Triben CN Cream consists of two medicines, namely: Clobetasol (corticosteroid) and Clotrimazole (antifungal). 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, and prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. On the other hand, Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. It is also used to treat athlete’s foot (fungal infection between the toes due to sweating) and jock itch (fungal infection in the skin of the genitals, inner thighs and buttocks).
Use this medication on the skin only as advised by the doctor. Common side effects of Triben CN Cream are burning, irritation, itching, redness and thinning of skin at the application site. These side effects 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 Triben CN Cream. Rinse it off with water thoroughly if you get the cream in these areas. Brief your medical history to doctor, if you are allergic to Triben CN 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. Please consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman before using Triben CN Cream.
