About Azoson-G Cream

Azoson-G Cream is a combination medicine of antibiotics and steroids used to treat bacterial skin infections. Bacterial skin infections include eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough skin patches), psoriasis (uneven or bumpy red patches covered with white scales), and dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin). A 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. 

Azoson-G Cream is a combination of two drugs: Betamethasone (corticosteroid) and Gentamicin (antibiotic). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids, which blocks prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. On the other hand, Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. It has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. 

You are advised to use Azoson-G Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. Avoid contact of Azoson-G Cream with the nose, ears, mouth or eyes. In case Azoson-G Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. You may sometimes experience itching, irritation, or burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Azoson-G Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

FAQs

Azoson-G Cream contains Betamethasone and Gentamicin. Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that act inside skin cells and inhibit the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. Gentamicin is an antibiotic class that inhibits the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply, and increase in numbers. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them and prevents further bacterial infection growth.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial skin infection: This is a skin condition in which the immune system becomes triggered and disordered, causing inflammation, dry skin, itching, and a skin rash that appears purple or grey or red. Eczema is caused due to change in the gene, which forms filaggrin (protein). This protein gets damaged due to the bacterial infection damaging the skin barrier, allowing bacteria to cause dry, itchy, and allergic skin.
