Betnovate-GM Cream

Betnovate-GM Cream is a combination medicine used for the treatment of various skin conditions that involve infection, itching, redness, and inflammation. It contains betamethasone (a corticosteroid that reduces swelling and irritation), gentamicin (an antibiotic that fights bacterial infections), and miconazole (an antifungal agent that treats fungal infections). This makes the cream effective against mixed skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi, along with inflammation.

Uses of Betnovate-GM Cream

• Eczema and dermatitis with infection

• Fungal infections of the skin (ringworm, athlete’s foot)

• Bacterial skin infections

• Red, itchy, or inflamed patches on the skin

Benefits of Betnovate-GM Cream

• Quickly reduces redness, itching, and swelling

• Treats both bacterial and fungal skin infections

• Promotes faster healing of infected skin

• Provides relief and restores skin comfort

Possible Side Effects
Some people may experience mild and temporary side effects such as:

• Burning or stinging sensation at the application site

• Skin dryness or irritation

• Itching or rash

• Thinning of the skin (with prolonged use)

If side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

How It Works

• Betamethasone controls inflammation and allergic reactions in the skin.

• Gentamicin kills harmful bacteria that cause skin infections.

• Miconazole prevents growth of fungi responsible for fungal infections.
  Together, they provide relief from symptoms and treat the underlying infection.

How to Use

• Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.

• Apply a thin layer of the cream once or twice daily (or as directed by your doctor).

• Do not cover the area with tight bandages unless advised by your doctor.

• Wash your hands after use, unless the hands themselves are being treated.

Safety Advice

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin.

• Do not use for longer than recommended, as overuse of steroids may cause side effects.

• Inform your doctor if you have open wounds, acne, or skin tuberculosis before use.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use only under medical supervision.

• Not suitable for children unless prescribed by a doctor.

Missed Dose
If you forget to apply a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for the next application, skip the missed dose. Do not apply extra to make up for it.
