About Dermowen Cream

BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE+GENTAMICIN is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat various fungal and bacterial skin infections. It treats skin inflammation caused by eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), ringworm, athlete's foot and jock itch. Skin infection occurs when bacteria or fungus invade and affect the tissues on the skin. 

BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE+GENTAMICIN is composed of three medicines: Betamethasone (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal) and Gentamicin (antibiotic). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that treats fungal infections. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. On the other hand, Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used in treating bacterial infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

In-Depth Precautions and Warning

Drug Warnings

BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE+GENTAMICIN is not for oral, ophthalmic (eye) or intravaginal use. Do not use topical BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE+GENTAMICIN on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Do not put dressing or bandage on the affected area since it increases the risk of side effects. Please check with your doctor before using BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE+GENTAMICIN, if you have pituitary gland diseases, cataract or glaucoma, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases. Topical use of corticosteroids (Betamethasone) may sometimes cause systemic immunosuppression while treating infections. This condition may worsen the infections; hence BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE+GENTAMICIN should be carefully used with patients with active infections. Do not use BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE+GENTAMICIN for treating diaper rash, since Betamethasone can cause adrenal suppression, Cushing's syndrome (high cortisol levels), and intracranial hypertension (increased pressure in the brain) in infants due to systemic absorption. Using steroids like Betamethasone may increase the risk of low birth weight in the new-born baby. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE+GENTAMICIN with proper consultation and caution.
