Flucort-N Cream


Product introduction

Flucort-N Cream is a combination of two medicines that effectively treat skin infections. It reduces symptoms of skin inflammation, such as redness, swelling, and itching, while also killing infection-causing microorganisms.

Flucort-N Cream is for external use only and should be used as directed by your doctor. Before applying, wash and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer of the medicine. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings like bandages unless instructed by your doctor.


While using Flucort-N Cream, you may experience temporary side effects such as burning, irritation, redness, or swelling at the application site. These usually subside over time, but if they persist or worsen, inform your doctor. Flucort-N Cream might not be safe for women, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Flucort-N Cream.

How Flucort-N Cream works

Flucort-N Cream is a combination of two medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide and Neomycin which treat skin infections. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
