About Onabet B Cream 15 gm

Onabet B Cream 15 gm is a dermatological medication indicated for the topical treatment of fungal infection of the skin with eczema. Fungal infection 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).

Onabet B Cream 15 gm is a combination of two drugs, namely: Sertaconazole nitrate (antifungal) and Beclomethasone dipropionate (corticosteroid). Sertaconazole nitrate works by damaging the fungal cell membranes, ultimately killing fungi. On the other hand, Beclomethasone dipropionate works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. 

Onabet B Cream 15 gm is only for external use. Some people may experience skin tenderness, mild rash, dry skin, skin bruising, itching, irritation, redness, burning, or stinging sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Onabet B Cream 15 gm do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Onabet B Cream 15 gm or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Onabet B Cream 15 gm. Do not apply Onabet B Cream 15 gm to broken skin or open cuts/wounds. Do not swallow Onabet B Cream 15 gm. In case of accidental swallowing, please consult a doctor immediately. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Onabet B Cream 15 gm catches fire and burns easily. 

Uses of Onabet B Cream 15 gm

Fungal skin infections

Medicinal Benefits

Onabet B Cream 15 gm contains Sertaconazole nitrate and Beclomethasone dipropionate used to treat fungal skin infections. Sertaconazole nitrate is an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells. Thus, stops the leakage of cell contents and kills fungi. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid 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. Together, they clear the fungal infection and provide relief from redness, swelling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.

Directions for Use

Onabet B Cream 15 gm is only for external use. Take a small amount of Onabet B Cream 15 gm on the finger and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin.
