Clobavate gm Ointment is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Gentamicin, and Miconazole. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. It provides temporary relief of symptoms. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Miconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Your doctor has prescribed Clobavate gm Ointment to cure your infection and improve symptoms. Wash your hands with soap before and after applying the cream.

If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Clobavate gm Ointment and consult your doctor. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
