How it works
Clobetas GM Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Neomycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stop using Clobetas GM Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue use of Clobetas GM Cream without consulting your doctor. Use it for the duration and dosage prescribed by your doctor. It is expected that you will experience symptom relief within a few days. However, if your condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, your treatment plan needs to be re-evaluated. It may be necessary to continue using Clobetas GM Cream under medical supervision for longer durations.
What precautions should I take while using Clobetas GM Cream?
Use Clobetas GM Cream carefully, only over the affected area and avoid getting it in your eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the treated area, as this will increase the absorption of the medicine and could lead to side effects. This medication should only be used for its prescribed condition. Do not use it on other conditions without consulting your doctor, and do not share it with others even if their symptoms appear similar.
How to use Clobetas GM Cream?
Use Clobetas GM Cream as directed by your doctor or the product label. Apply a thin layer of it to the affected areas. The dose will depend on your condition, and you should practice good hygiene after using it unless it is being used for treating hand infections. Avoid contact with eyes.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Clobetas GM Cream for long periods?
Clobetas GM Cream should only be taken at the dosage and duration as prescribed by your doctor. This medication contains clobetasol, a potent steroid that when used in high doses or for prolonged periods can be absorbed into the bloodstream. This can lead to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome, which may result in weight gain, high blood pressure, and facial rounding. Its use also may cause skin discoloration at the site of application, with visible veins appearing beneath the skin due to thinning and weakening of the skin. There is a possibility for increased hair growth as well. If you experience an increase in the severity of your symptoms, contact your doctor for re-evaluation.
What are the contraindications associated with the use of Clobetas GM Cream?
Clobetas GM Cream is not recommended for individuals with known allergies to any of its components or excipients. Its use should be avoided in cases of active skin lesions caused by fungal, bacterial, or yeast infections, viral conditions (herpes and chickenpox), as well. This medication should also not be used to treat acne or rosacea.
