Betgenta-Z Cream is a combination of three medicines: Betamethasone and Gentamicin which treat skin infections. Betamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Gentamicin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria on the skin by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Zinc Sulfate is an antiseptic.

It may take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Betgenta-Z Cream. Apply it as a thin layer onto a clean, dry, unbroken infected area of skin. Use moisturizer regularly to overcome the skin dryness during the course of treatment. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.
