About Clobate G Cream

CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN is a combination of two medicines, namely: Gentamicin and Clobetasol. Gentamicin is an antibiotic, whereas Clobetasol is a corticosteroid. CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN is primarily used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria.  Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria enter the body through broken skin.

Gentamicin works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for the survival of the bacteria. Clobetasol works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Together, CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN helps in treating skin infections.

CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN is for external use only. Take a pea-sized amount onto your finger and apply it directly onto the affected area and gently massage it in. If CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN comes in contact with eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water immediately. You are advised to use CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as skin peeling, dryness, burning sensation, irritation, stinging sensation, itching, and redness at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually continue using CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not use CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any steroid medicine. Consult your doctor before using CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use CLOBETASOL+GENTAMICIN in more than prescribed doses, or on a large area of skin for a longer duration as it may cause adverse effects.
