Cloz GB Cream

Cloz GB Cream belongs to the class of 'Topical steroid with Antimicrobial and Antifungal agents' primarily used to treat skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), dermatitis (skin rash), impetigo (red sores on the face), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales). Cloz GB Cream is also used to treat diaper rash, lichen simplex (thickened skin due to repeated itching/rubbing), bug bites, burns, boils, dermatoses (skin lesions), otitis externa (inflammation of the ear) and fungus or yeast infections. Skin infection occurs when a foreign microbe like fungus or bacteria invades and affects the skin's tissue. 

Cloz GB Cream is composed of three medicines: Clotrimazole (antifungal), Gentamicin (antibiotic), and Beclometasone (corticosteroid). Clotrimazole is broad-spectrum 'antifungal' medication. It stops fungi's growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane to lose its essential components. Gentamicin belongs to the class of 'aminoglycoside antibiotics' it kills bacteria by disrupting its ability to produce essential proteins for its growth. Beclometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Beclometasone effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis.

Cloz GB Cream is for topical (for skin) use only. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Cloz GB Cream has common side effects like redness, itching, irritation and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Cloz GB Cream or other medications. Do not use Cloz GB Cream on sensitive areas like nostrils, ears, lips or genitals if the doctor did not advise you. If Cloz GB Cream gets into eyes, nose or genitals, wash the areas with clean water thoroughly. Do not cover the affected areas with air-tight dressings after applying Cloz GB Cream. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Cloz GB Cream.

Cloz GB Cream is contraindicated in rosacea, acne, peri-oral dermatitis, tuberculosis of the skin and varicose ulcers, skin lesions caused by infections with viruses (herpes simplex, vaccinia or varicella), and fungi (candida, tinea).

• Use mild soap while taking baths and prefer warm baths.
• Regularly change your socks and wash your feet. Avoid shoes that make your feet sweaty and hot.
• Do not walk barefoot at places like gym showers to prevent bacterial infections.
• Do not scratch the affected area of skin as it can spread the infection to other body parts.
• Avoid sharing towels, combs, bed sheets, shoes or socks with others.
• Wash your bed sheets and towels regularly.
• Avoid or limit the intake of alcohol and caffeine.
• Manage stress, eat healthily, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep.
• Change timely the diapers of your baby even if they are soiled or not to prevent any irritation on the baby's skin.
• Avoid frequent use of diapers and use them only if they are required. Keep the area dry and clean. 
• Check the diaper if the baby has a rash and change the diaper as soon as it is wet or soiled. 
• It is advised not to use airtight rubber pants over the diaper area. Cloth-like disposable diapers promote better air circulation than plastic-type diapers and keep the area moist free.

• It is advised to reach out to your doctor if the skin infection symptoms persist or worsen after two treatment weeks. 
• Monitor your blood glucose levels regularly since Beclometasone in Cloz GB Cream can cause a rise in blood sugar levels. 
• Clotrimazole in Cloz GB Cream may cause abnormal liver functions tests in people with liver impairment. Please let your doctor know if you have any history of liver diseases before undergoing liver function tests and using Cloz GB Cream.
