Medicinal Benefits:

Cortiderm GM Cream is a combination of three drugs, namely: Betamethasone, Gentamicin, and Miconazole. Cortiderm GM Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Also, Cortiderm GM Cream helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits 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 normally. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that causes bacteria to produce faulty and abnormal proteins. Thereby, 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 is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi.
