Exel-G Cream (Betamethasone Dipropionate + Gentamicin Sulphate) – 15 gm

Benefits & Features:

Exel-G is a combination cream containing a potent corticosteroid (Betamethasone) and an antibiotic (Gentamicin) formulated to treat inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial infection.

Dual action: reduces inflammation and eliminates bacterial infection.

Effective for dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis with secondary infection.

Rapidly relieves itching, redness, and swelling.

Requires Prescription:

Yes.

Generics:

Yes (Betamethasone / Gentamicin combination).

Used For:

Topical treatment of inflammatory dermatoses where bacterial infection is present or suspected.

How it Works:

Betamethasone provides strong anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effects, while Gentamicin acts as a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, preventing infection spread.

Usage & Safety Dosage:

Apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily, as prescribed. Do not use for longer than 1–2 weeks unless directed by a doctor.

Side Effects:

Skin thinning, dryness, irritation, burning, or itching. Prolonged use may lead to systemic corticosteroid absorption.

Drug Interactions:

No major interactions with short-term topical use.

When Not to Use:

Do not use on viral (herpes, chickenpox), fungal, or tubercular skin infections. Avoid application on the face, groin, or open wounds.

Precautions:

For external use only. Avoid prolonged or unnecessary use to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance and steroid-related side effects.

Warnings:

Long-term or widespread use can cause systemic corticosteroid effects and promote bacterial resistance. Follow dermatologist’s instructions carefully.
