Cloben-G Cream is a topical treatment that combines clobetasol propionate, a potent corticosteroid, and gentamicin, an antibiotic.
It is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, especially when complicated by bacterial infections.
The corticosteroid reduces inflammation, itching, and redness, while the antibiotic prevents and treats secondary infections.
The cream is typically applied to affected areas once or twice daily, but it should be used as directed to avoid side effects like skin thinning. Prolonged use should be avoided without medical supervision.
