About Clop GM Cream 15 gm

Clop GM Cream 15 gm belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives with Corticosteroids’ used to treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin.

Fungal infection can affect our skin and cause infection, which may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

Clop GM Cream 15 gm is a combination of three drugs, namely: Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal), and Neomycin (antibacterial).

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.
