Medicinal Benefits

CLOPINATEgm CREAM is a combination of three drugs, namely: Clobetasol, Gentamicin and Miconazole. CLOPINATEgm CREAM is used to treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Also, CLOPINATEgm CREAM helps to reduce swelling, itching and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that causes bacteria to produce faulty and abnormal proteins. Thereby, kills the bacteria and clears the infection. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi.
