Miclogenta N

Yes, Miclogenta N might be used for the treatment of lichen sclerosus (LS) which is a skin condition that causes thinning of the skin and white patches, generally in the genital area. Clinical studies have found Miclogenta N to be effective in the treatment of lichen sclerosus (LS).

Miclogenta N contains clobetasol which is presumed to work by promoting the induction of inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) in the body. Lipocortins prevents the release of arachidonic acid which causes synthesis and release of certain chemicals such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins that causes inflammation. In this way Miclogenta N prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.

Yes, Miclogenta N may cause skin discoloration or color changes. It is a rare side effect of this drug. However, the exact cause behind skin discoloration is not known but it is more likely to occur if the skin is covered with a dressing after applying this drug.

No, Miclogenta N should not be discontinued without doctors advice. You are recommended to always consult a doctor before discontinuing this medicine.

Application of Miclogenta N on the face must be avoided but if it has been advised by your doctor then you can use it only for a short-term period not more than 5 days because the skin on your face thins easily.
