How it works
Clobetroy GM Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin, which treats skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Quick Tips
Clobetroy GM Cream must be applied as a thin layer on the affected area as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Before each application, wash the affected area with soap and water and dry well. Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor as this may increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 2-4 weeks of treatment.

Frequently asked questions

No, do not discontinue using Clobetroy GM Cream without consulting your doctor. Use Clobetroy GM Cream as prescribed by the physician, and if necessary, follow the treatment plan for a longer duration under medical supervision. Usually, your condition will improve within a few days. However, if your condition worsens or does not improve within seven days, re-evaluation of your treatment and diagnosis should be undertaken.
What precautions should I take while using Clobetroy GM Cream?
Use Clobetroy GM Cream cautiously only over the affected area, avoiding any contact with the eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the treated area as this may increase the absorption of the medicine and raise the risk of side effects. This medication should only be used for the condition it is prescribed for, and it should not be used for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Avoid giving it to others even if their conditions appear similar.
How to use Clobetroy GM Cream?
Clobetroy GM Cream should be applied as directed by your physician or according to the instructions on the medicine label. Apply a thin layer of it to the affected areas. The dosage will depend on your condition for which it is prescribed, and washing hands thoroughly after applying the cream unless used for treating hand infections is necessary.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Clobetroy GM Cream for long periods?
Clobetroy GM Cream should be used only according to your physician's prescribed dosage and duration.

It can also cause weight gain, high blood pressure, and changes in facial appearance (facial rounding). Increased hair growth is another potential side effect, but it may be temporary. If you notice your symptoms worsening, please consult your doctor for a re-evaluation.
