Clop-G Cream is used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria enter the body through broken skin.
Clop-G Cream is a combination of two medicines: Gentamicin and Clobetasol. Gentamicin is an antibiotic, whereas clobetasol is a corticosteroid. Clop-G Cream is primarily used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria. Gentamicin works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for the survival of the bacteria. Clobetasol works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Together, Clop-G Cream helps in treating skin infections.
Clop-G Cream may cause side effects such as skin peeling, dryness, burning sensation, irritation, stinging sensation, itching and redness at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor before using Clop-G Cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Clop-G Cream in more than prescribed doses or on a large area of skin for a longer duration, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor. Do not apply Clop-G Cream on children’s skin unless prescribed by the doctor.
