About Dipnategm Cream

Dipnategm Cream is used to treat skin conditions like eczema (itchy, inflamed skin), psoriasis (red, itchy, scaly patch on skin), and other types of rash. Also, Dipnategm Cream helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by specific skin problems. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). 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.

Dipnategm Cream is a combination of three drugs, namely Betamethasone (corticosteroid), Gentamicin (antibiotic), and Miconazole (antifungal). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that work by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting 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 typically. Gentamicin works by causing bacteria to produce faulty and abnormal proteins. Thus, it 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 stop the leakage of cell contents. Miconazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi.

Dipnategm Cream is only for external use. Take a small amount of Dipnategm Cream on the finger and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of Dipnategm Cream with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Dipnategm Cream comes in connection with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience skin peeling, dry skin, itching, redness, irritation, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Dipnategm Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Dipnategm Cream, iodine, or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Dipnategm Cream. Do not use Dipnategm Cream in more than prescribed doses or for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with airtight dressings unless advised by a doctor. Do not swallow Dipnategm Cream. In case of accidental swallowing, consult a doctor immediately. If you have glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, adrenal gland or kidney problems, asthma, myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), Parkinson’s disease, or other skin problems, inform your doctor before taking Dipnategm Cream.
