In Bacterial skin infections
Clobegen Cream is a combination of medicines used to treat skin infections caused by microorganisms such as bacteria.

How Clobegen Cream works
Clobegen Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Gentamicin, which treats bacterial skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Gentamicin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
