Composition

Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025 %) + Miconazole (2 %) + Neomycin (0.5 %)

Eclospan Cream is primarily used to manage skin infections. It's a combination medicine that falls under the category of corticosteroids, antibiotics, and antifungals.

While its main use is to manage skin infections, it also relieves symptoms of inflammation, itching, redness, and discomfort associated with these infections. It's particularly effective against certain skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, minor skin infections and specific fungal ailments like athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm.

It's crucial that you consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency of this medicine. Before using this cream, inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue using the cream for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Eclospan Cream is beneficial for managing the following conditions:

Eczema is a skin condition causing inflammation and itchiness
Dermatitis, another form of skin inflammation often leading to itchy, red skin
Minor skin infections caused by bacteria
Ringworm is a fungal infection resulting in a red circular rash on your skin

Directions for Use of Eclospan Cream 15gm

Here's how you should apply Eclospan Cream:

Before application, wash the affected skin area using soap and water, then pat it dry with a clean towel.
Apply a thin layer of the cream on the clean, dry skin area.
Gently massage until the cream has been fully absorbed.
Don't forget to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
For specific advice on how to use this medicine, consult your doctor.

Eclospan Cream is applied topically.

Eclospan Cream might have the following side effects:

Burning
Itching
Irritation
Dryness
Skin rash or redness
Acne-like eruptions: These are small, red, inflamed spots on your skin, resembling acne.
Skin thinning
Excess hair growth
Skin discoloration

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Eclospan Cream. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dryness: If your skin feels dry after applying Eclospan Cream, consider using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser.
Irritation: If you notice irritation after applying the cream, try applying it less frequently.

Eclospan Cream works on the skin in different ways due to its three active ingredients:

Beclomethasone dipropionate (0.025%): This potent corticosteroid reduces inflammation in your skin. Inflammation is a body response that can cause redness, warmth, swelling and pain. By reducing inflammation, it helps manage symptoms like itching and redness.
Neomycin (0.5%): This antibiotic works by stopping bacteria from growing on your skin. Bacteria are tiny organisms that can cause infections if they multiply too much.
Miconazole (2%): As an antifungal ingredient, miconazole inhibits the growth of fungi on your skin. Fungi are another type of small organisms that can cause infections if they grow excessively.

Together, these three components work to manage various skin infections effectively.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Eclospan Cream if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before applying this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are a breastfeeding mother, it's advisable to discuss the use of Eclospan Cream with your doctor. Only use if clearly needed and potential benefit outweighs the risk to the baby.

Alcohol

Interactions between Eclospan Cream and alcohol are rare as it is a topical product. However, always consult your doctor for advice suited to your specific circumstances.

Liver

Since Eclospan Cream is used topically on the skin, liver interactions are rarely a concern. Nonetheless, if you have liver health issues, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Kidney

The application of Eclospan Cream usually doesn't affect kidney health. If you have any kidney problems, it's still a good idea to discuss this with your doctor before using this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Eclospan Cream is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or operate machinery as it is applied topically. But if you experience any side effects that could impair these activities, consult your doctor.

Allergy

Eclospan Cream should not be used by individuals with a known allergy to beclomethasone, miconazole, neomycin or any other component. In case of an unexpected allergic reaction, stop using the cream and contact your doctor immediately.

Children

This cream is meant for adults. Caution is advised when considering its use for children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Eclospan Cream under medical supervision as they may be more prone to its side effects. If you're above 70 years of age or have liver and kidney issues, be sure to discuss these with your doctor who will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Eclospan Cream interacts with the following medicines:

Immunosuppressants: Although not common, if you're using medicines such as cyclosporine or tacrolimus that weaken the immune system, Eclospan cream, due to beclomethasone, might decrease their effectiveness.
Antifungal Medications: If you're using other antifungal medications like fluconazole or ketoconazole, the miconazole in Eclospan cream may interact with them, increasing the potential for side effects.
Antibiotics: Specific antibiotics such as erythromycin or clarithromycin may interact with neomycin in Eclospan cream, potentially leading to an increased risk of antibiotic resistance.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known food interactions with Eclospan Cream. This medicine can be used regardless of meals.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Eclospan Cream interacts with the following diseases:

Skin Infections: If you have skin infections like chickenpox or herpes simplex, it's advisable to avoid Eclospan cream as it contains beclomethasone which may worsen these conditions.
Glaucoma and Cataracts: There's an increased risk of developing cataracts and glaucoma if Eclospan Cream is used near the eyes. Always ensure you avoid applications near your eyes.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will determine the suitable dose of Eclospan Cream for you, considering factors like your condition and how your body reacts to the medication. Always adhere to your doctor's instructions and don't alter your dosage without their guidance.

Over Dose

If you accidentally apply more Eclospan Cream than prescribed, you might experience some localised reactions such as itching or redness at the application site. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to apply Eclospan Cream at the scheduled time, do it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Don't apply extra cream to make up for a missed application. Always consult your doctor if you're unsure.

Store Eclospan Cream in a dry place away from sunlight and heat.
Maintain an ideal temperature below 30°C.
Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to prevent air exposure.
Always keep this cream out of reach of children for safety.

Since Eclospan Cream manages skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis, it's beneficial to consume a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish, flaxseeds and walnuts, known to reduce inflammation.
Regularly practising stress management techniques such as yoga and meditation can help manage skin conditions triggered or worsened by stress.
