How Gentamicin + Clotrimazole + Betamethasone + Lidocaine/Lignocaine works
Gentamicin + Clotrimazole + Betamethasone + Lidocaine/Lignocaine is a combination of four medicines: Gentamicin , Clotrimazole , Betamethasone and Lidocaine/Lignocaine which treat skin infections. Gentamicin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Betamethasone is a steroid medicine.
