Effigenta Cream 15gm contains Betamethasone + Gentamicin 15g, a steroid and antibiotic cream. Made by Pharma Health, it is prescribed for infected eczema and dermatitis. Pack size: 15 gm.

Uses of Effigenta Cream 15gm

Effigenta Cream 15gm cream or ointment treats inflamed skin conditions, such as eczema and dermatitis, that have become infected with bacteria or are at risk of infection. It eases redness, itching and swelling while clearing the infection. It is intended for short-term use on the advice of a doctor and is not suitable for acne, rosacea or skin lightening.

How Effigenta Cream 15gm works

Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching in the skin. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria commonly found in infected skin by blocking their protein production. The combination tackles both the inflammation and the infection.

Possible side effects

When Effigenta Cream 15gm is used briefly as directed, side effects are uncommon. They can include:

• Burning or stinging
• Itching or dryness
• Skin thinning with long use
• Stretch marks with long use
• Lightening of the skin

Stop and see a doctor if the rash spreads, the skin becomes more painful or weepy, or you notice signs of an allergic reaction.

Precautions and warnings

• Use the smallest amount for the shortest time; avoid long use on the face.
• It is not a fairness cream, and misuse for skin lightening can cause lasting skin damage.
• Do not use it on untreated fungal or viral skin infections, or cover the area with tight dressings unless advised.
• Children are more likely to absorb steroids through the skin, so use only under medical advice.
• Speak to your doctor before using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
