About Becomentin CN Cream
Becomentin CN Cream is a combination of medicine primarily used to treat various fungal and bacterial skin infections. It treats skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants, eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), ringworm, athlete’s foot (fungal infection between the toes), jock itch (fungal infection in the skin of the genitals, inner thighs and buttocks), insect bites, and stings. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes infection. Fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.
Becomentin CN Cream is composed of three medicines: Clotrimazole (antifungal), Neomycin (antibiotic) and Betamethasone (steroid). Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used in treating bacterial and fungal infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. On the other hand, Betamethasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.
Becomentin CN Cream is for topical (for skin) use only. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water. Common side effects of Becomentin CN Cream include burning, irritation, itching and redness at the application site. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.
Do not use topical Becomentin CN Cream on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Becomentin CN Cream is not for oral, ophthalmic (eye) or intravaginal use. Do not put a dressing or bandage on the affected area unless prescribed. Please check with your doctor before using Becomentin CN Cream, if you have dehydration problems, cataracts or glaucoma, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), or muscle weakness, liver and kidney diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Becomentin CN Cream.

Clotrimazole, an antifungal drug, stops fungi's growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin is an antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Becomentin CN Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If Becomentin CN Cream gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or vagina, rinse with water.

Becomentin CN Cream should be used with caution and under doctor's supervision if you have pituitary gland diseases, cataract or glaucoma, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases. Using corticosteroids (Betamethasone) on the skin may sometimes cause systemic immunosuppression while treating infections. This condition may worsen the infections, hence Becomentin CN Cream should be carefully used with patients with active infections.
Becomentin CN Cream is not recommended for treating diaper rash, since Betamethasone can cause adrenal suppression, Cushing's syndrome and intracranial hypertension (increased pressure in the brain) in infants due to systemic absorption.
Becomentin CN Cream may not work for skin infections like viral skin infections, such as chickenpox, shingles, cold sores or herpes simplex, bacterial infections like impetigo, lesions caused by tuberculosis or syphilis, acne vulgaris (spots), rosacea, perioral dermatitis (red spotty rash around the mouth) and widespread plaque psoriasis. Please reach out to a doctor for more information.
You are required to maintain at least a three-hour gap after application of Becomentin CN Cream if you are using more than one topical medicine.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Bacterial skin infection: It occurs when bacteria enter the body through the skin. Bacterial skin infections are generally mild and can be treated using topical antibiotics. Few infections need treatment using an oral antibiotic. Symptoms of a skin infection include rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, itching, redness, swelling, stinging or burning sensation.
Fungal skin infection: It 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). The symptoms of a fungal infection include scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation, and redness.
