About Grm Ointment

Grm Ointment is a dermatological medication, primarily used to treat various skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (red patches on the skin with white scales), dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin), allergies, rash, and impetigo. Skin infection occurs when a foreign microorganism like fungus or bacteria invades the skin and affects the tissues. Impetigo is a contagious (spread by contact) infection that causes red sores on the face.

Grm Ointment is composed of two medicines: Halobetasol (corticosteroid) and Mupirocin (antibiotic). Halobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. On the other hand, Mupirocin is an antibacterial drug. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out their vital functions, thus preventing bacterial growth.

Use Grm Ointment as suggested by the doctor. Grm Ointment is for external use only. Common side effects of Grm Ointment include itching, burning sensation, irritation, and redness at the application site. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If the side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Do not use Grm Ointment on open wounds, blisters, and lesions. Let your doctor know if you have any liver/kidney disorders and skin diseases before using Grm Ointment. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Grm Ointment. Grm Ointment is generally not recommended for children below 13 years of age. If prescribed for children, your doctor may ask you to stop the course within five days.
