FAQs

Betaderm G Cream contains Betamethasone and Gentamicin. Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that act inside skin cells and inhibit the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. Gentamicin is an antibiotic class that inhibits the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply, and increase in numbers. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them and prevents further bacterial infection growth.

You are recommended to cover the treated area of the skin with bandages or dressings only if advised by your doctor. Covering treated areas can increase the amount of medicine absorbed through your skin and may cause harmful effects. However, please consult a doctor before covering the skin with bandages.

About Betaderm G Cream

Betaderm G Cream is a combination medicine of antibiotics and steroids used to treat bacterial skin infections. Bacterial skin infections include eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough skin patches), psoriasis (uneven or bumpy red patches covered with white scales), and dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin). A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. 

Betaderm G Cream is a combination of two drugs: Betamethasone (corticosteroid) and Gentamicin (antibiotic). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids, which blocks prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. On the other hand, Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. It has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. 

You are advised to use Betaderm G Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. Avoid contact of Betaderm G Cream with the nose, ears, mouth or eyes. In case Betaderm G Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. You may sometimes experience itching, irritation, or burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Betaderm G Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using Betaderm G Cream. Apply Betaderm G Cream with caution near the eyes as Betaderm G Cream may lead to glaucoma if it gets into the eye. Do not cover or wrap the treated area with bandages unless advised by your doctor. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) in contact with Betaderm G Cream catches fire and burns easily, which is a serious fire hazard.
