Betamethasone + Clotrimazole + Gentamicin
Indications
Combiderm cream is used to treat corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions that are also complicated by bacterial or fungal infection. It also works well for tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea corporis (ringworm), and acute and chronic eczema.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
This cream combines the anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive actions of Betamethasone Dipropionate with the broad spectrum antifungal activity of Clotrimazole and the wide spectrum bactericidal antibiotic activity of Gentamicin Sulfate. Clotrimazole appears to act on the fungal cell membrane, causing leakage of cell contents, while Gentamicin provides highly effective topical treatment in primary and secondary bacterial infections of the skin.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Since the safety of topical corticosteroids in pregnant women has not been established, this medicine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the unborn baby. Nursing mothers should use it with caution.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
