About Betamilgm Cream

Betamilgm Cream is used to treat skin conditions like eczema (itchy, inflamed skin), psoriasis (red, itchy, scaly patch on skin), and other types of rash. Also, Betamilgm Cream helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by specific skin problems. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus infects the tissue. Fungal infections can be contagious, spreading from one person to another. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause an infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Betamilgm Cream is a combination of three drugs: Betamethasone (a corticosteroid), Gentamicin (an antibiotic), and Miconazole (an antifungal). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that work by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are typically released. Gentamicin works by causing bacteria to produce faulty and abnormal proteins. Thus, it kills the bacteria and clears the infection. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Miconazole belongs to the class of antifungals that work by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi.

Betamilgm Cream is for external use only. Take a small amount of Betamilgm Cream on your finger and apply it as a thin layer to the clean, dry affected area. Avoid contact of Betamilgm Cream with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. If Betamilgm Cream comes into contact with these areas accidentally, rinse thoroughly with water. Some people may experience skin peeling, dry skin, itching, redness, irritation, or a burning sensation at the site of application. Most of the side effects of Betamilgm Cream do not require medical attention and usually resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Betamilgm Cream, iodine, or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Betamilgm Cream. Do not use Betamilgm Cream in more than prescribed doses or for a prolonged time, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with airtight dressings unless your doctor advises you to do so. Do not swallow Betamilgm Cream. In case of accidental swallowing, consult a doctor immediately. If you have glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, adrenal gland or kidney problems, asthma, myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), Parkinson’s disease, or other skin problems, inform your doctor before taking Betamilgm Cream.
