About Monovate-GM Cream

Monovate-GM 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, Monovate-GM 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.

Monovate-GM Cream is a combination of four drugs, namely Betamethasone (corticosteroid), Gentamicin (antibiotic), Miconazole (antifungal) and Zinc sulfate (antiseptic). 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. Zinc sulfate works as an astringent and antiseptic, aiding in skin protection, infection prevention, and wound healing. Thus, it eliminates micro organisms, treats the infection, and offers antiseptic protection while supporting wound healing. 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.

Monovate-GM Cream is only for external use. The dose and duration of treatment with Monovate-GM Cream will be determined by the doctor based on your medical condition being treated.
