GENTAMICIN+MICONAZOLE belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives' used to treat the skin's fungal and bacterial infections. Also, the GENTAMICIN+MICONAZOLE reduces swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.
GENTAMICIN+MICONAZOLE is a combination of two drugs: Gentamicin (antibiotic) and Miconazole (antifungal). GENTAMICIN+MICONAZOLE treat both fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that destroys bacteria by preventing important proteins needed by bacteria from being synthesized to perform vital functions. Miconazole is an antifungal that prevents fungi from developing by keeping them from forming their own protective coating. Together, the skin infection is successfully treated.
GENTAMICIN+MICONAZOLE is only for external use. Take a small amount of GENTAMICIN+MICONAZOLE on the finger and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of GENTAMICIN+MICONAZOLE with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case GENTAMICIN+MICONAZOLE comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.
