About Clobet GM RC Cream 10 gm

Also, Clobet GM RC Cream 10 gm helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Fungal infection can affect our skin and cause infection, which may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

Clobet GM RC Cream 10 gm is a combination of three drugs, namely: Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal), and Neomycin (antibacterial). Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting 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. 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. Clotrimazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin belongs to the class of antibacterial that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins required for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers, thereby destroying the bacteria.
