About Encort-G Cream

Encort-G Cream is a combination medication that belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics and corticosteroids. Encort-G Cream is primarily used to treat skin infections (psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, allergies, rash) caused by bacteria. This medicine effectively decreases swelling, itching and redness of the skin. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria enter the body through broken skin.

Encort-G Cream contains three different medications: Gentamicin, Clobetasol and Zinc sulfate. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required to survive the bacteria. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that inhibits the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Zinc is an important mineral that helps maintain the skin's health. Zinc helps to heal the infection. Together, Encort-G Cream helps in treating skin infections.

Encort-G Cream is for external use only. Take a pea-sized amount onto your finger, apply it directly onto the affected area, and gently massage it. If Encort-G Cream comes in contact with eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with water immediately. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to use Encort-G Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as skin peeling, dryness, burning sensation, irritation, stinging sensation, itching and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor before using Encort-G Cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Encort-G Cream in more than prescribed doses or on a large area of skin for a longer duration, as it may cause adverse effects. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take before taking Encort-G Cream to rule out any side effects.
