Topical corticosteroids act as anti-inflammatory agents via multiple mechanisms to inhibit late phase allergic reactions including decreasing the density of mast cells, decreasing chemotaxis and activation of eosinophils, decreasing cytokine production by lymphocytes, monocytes, mast cells and eosinophils, and inhibiting the metabolism of arachidonic acid. Gentamicin is bactericidal and is a broad spectrum antibiotic (except against streptococci and anaerobic bacteria). Its mechanism of action involves inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 30S ribosomes.

Purpose

Topical Antibacterial

Ingredients

Betamethasone Dipropionate , Gentamicin

Warnings

Avoid use with air tight occlusive dressings (e.g. under bandages , nappies).
The effect of glucocorticoids in the body when applied to the skin generally increases with their strength (potency), duration of use, the extent of treated body surface areas and when used in skin folds.
Due to possible absorption of the active substances into the body, long-term treatment and/or use over large skin areas is advised to be avoided. Ask your doctor if you are not sure whether you have a widespread skin condition.
