Description
IndicationsÂ
Neo-Synalar Cream is a prescription medication used to treat certain skin conditions that have an underlying bacterial infection, such as dermatitis and eczema. Â
Neo-Synalar Cream is primarily used to treat corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses with secondary infection, such as eczema and dermatitis. It is also used to treat certain skin infections caused by bacteria.Â
This combination medicine contains two active ingredients, neomycin and fluocinolone acetonide. Neomycin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria, while fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching on the skin.Â
Use and DosageÂ
Neo-Synalar Cream is applied topically to the affected area of the skin, usually two to four times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. The affected area should be cleaned and dried before applying the cream.Â
- Wash and dry the affected area before applying the medication.Â
- Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area, and gently rub it in until it is absorbed into the skin.Â
- Wash hands after applying the medication unless the hands are the affected area.Â
