How Micogent Lotion works
Micogent Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Gentamicin and Miconazole. Gentamicin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Together, they treat your skin infection effectively.
