How it works
Dipgenta Plus Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Neomycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Quick Tips
Apply a thin layer of the medicine to the affected area as a thin film two or three times daily or as advised by your doctor. Do not use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor if your skin problem hasn't improved after seven days of treatment. Do not apply it to broken skin and avoid getting it in your eyes, nose, or mouth. 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.
