CLOTRIMAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE+GENTAMICIN belongs to the class of 'Topical steroid with Antimicrobial and Antifungal agents' primarily used to treat skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), dermatitis (skin rash), impetigo (red sores on the face), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales). CLOTRIMAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE+GENTAMICIN is also used to treat diaper rash, lichen simplex (thickened skin due to repeated itching/rubbing), bug bites, burns, boils, dermatoses (skin lesions), otitis externa (inflammation of the ear) and fungus or yeast infections. Skin infection occurs when a foreign microbe like fungus or bacteria invades and affects the skin's tissue.
CLOTRIMAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE+GENTAMICIN is composed of three medicines: Clotrimazole (antifungal), Gentamicin (antibiotic), and Beclometasone (corticosteroid). Clotrimazole is broad-spectrum 'antifungal' medication. It stops fungi's growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane to lose its essential components. Gentamicin belongs to the class of 'aminoglycoside antibiotics' it kills bacteria by disrupting its ability to produce essential proteins for its growth. Beclometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Beclometasone effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis.
CLOTRIMAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE+GENTAMICIN is for topical (for skin) use only. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. CLOTRIMAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE+GENTAMICIN has common side effects like redness, itching, irritation and burning sensation at the application site.
