Tenovate-M Cream

Tenovate-M Cream is a combination medicine used to treat inflammatory skin conditions that are complicated by fungal infections. It contains a strong corticosteroid to reduce redness, itching, and swelling, along with an antifungal agent that controls fungal growth. This dual action makes it useful for mixed infections where both inflammation and fungal overgrowth are present.

Uses of Tenovate-M Cream

• Fungal skin infections with redness and itching

• Eczema or dermatitis complicated by fungal growth

• Inflammatory fungal infections like ringworm, jock itch, or athlete’s foot

• Rashes with both swelling and infection

Benefits of Tenovate-M Cream

• Relieves itching, burning, and irritation

• Reduces redness and swelling in the skin

• Stops fungal growth and prevents spread of infection

• Promotes faster healing compared to using steroid or antifungal alone

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and improve with time:

• Burning, stinging, or itching at the site of application

• Dryness or irritation of skin

• Skin thinning if used for long periods

• Lightening of the skin in treated areas

Seek medical advice if you notice:

• Severe rash or swelling

• Worsening of infection instead of improvement

How It Works

• Clobetasol propionate: A very strong corticosteroid that reduces itching, redness, and swelling.

• Miconazole: An antifungal that stops the growth of fungi causing the infection.

Together, they treat both the symptoms (itching, swelling) and the root cause (fungal infection).

How to Use

• Clean and dry the affected skin before application.

• Apply a thin layer once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor.

• Avoid applying on broken skin, face, or near the eyes unless prescribed.

• Wash your hands after use (unless treating your hands).

• Do not use longer than recommended.

Safety Advice

• For external use only.

• Use in children only if prescribed by a doctor.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using.

• Avoid covering the area with airtight dressings unless told by your doctor.

Additional Tips

• Apply at the same time daily for best results.

• Do not stop suddenly if used for a longer time—follow doctor’s advice.

• Keep using for the prescribed duration even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence.
