Clobetamil G Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Gentamicin, which treats bacterial skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Gentamicin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Clobetamil G Cream 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 Clobetamil G Cream. Apply it as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by acne. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. It is advisable not to touch or scratch the infected area as it can worsen the situation.

No, do not discontinue use of Clobetamil G Cream before completing the full course prescribed by your doctor. Your symptoms may subside before complete eradication of the infection.
