How Provate GC Cream works

Betamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi while Neomycin is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth in the skin. Together, they treat your skin infection effectively.

FAQs
What precautions should I take while using Provate GC Cream?
Provate GC Cream should not be used on the face and contact with eyes should be avoided. Do not apply a bandage or dressing on the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the medicine and increase the risk of side-effects.

Do not give it to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.
How to use Provate GC Cream?
Provate GC Cream should be used as advised by the doctor or as per the instructions on the label of the medicine. Apply a thin layer of Provate GC Cream to cover the affected areas.

What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Provate GC Cream and for long periods?
The dosage and duration of Provate GC Cream should be strictly according to the doctor’s advice. This medicine contains clobetasol which when used in higher doses and for longer periods can get absorbed in the blood and cause adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It can cause weight gain, high blood pressure and rounding of the face. Its application can cause a change in color of skin at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become visible because of the thinning and weakening of the skin. There could also be an increased hair growth. If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
What are the instructions for the storage and disposal of Provate GC Cream?
Keep this medicine in the container or the pack it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose of the unused medicine. Make sure it is not consumed by pets, children and other people.
