About Clostar-Gm Cream

CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN belongs to a class of dermatological medications ‘Topical Anti-Infectives with Corticosteroids’ used to treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Also, CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Fungal infections can affect our skin and cause infection, which 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, thereby infecting any part of the body.

CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN is a combination of three drugs, namely: Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal), and Neomycin (antibacterial). Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits 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 released normally. 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. Clotrimazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi. Neomycin belongs to the class of antibacterial that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins required for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers, thereby destroying the bacteria.

CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN is only for external use. Take a small amount of CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN on the finger and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact with CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN with the nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience dry skin, acne, thinning of the skin, itching, pain, swelling, redness, irritation, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid using CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN for more than 5 days in children and on the face. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN. CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN is not recommended for children below 2 years of age as the safety and effectiveness were not established. Avoid using CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN on open wounds, or damaged or broken skin. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with airtight dressings unless advised by a doctor.

You are advised not to scratch or prick the infected areas of the skin as it may spread or worsen the acne. If you have rosacea (redness and often red, small, pus-filled bumps on the face), acne, perioral dermatitis (redness and swelling of the skin around the mouth), psoriasis, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, adrenal gland or liver problems, genital itching or other skin problems, inform your doctor before taking CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+NEOMYCIN.
