Uses

Beclomate EG is prescribed for the treatment of skin conditions that are caused by inflammation, fungal infections, or bacterial infections. Some of the specific conditions it may be used for include:

• Eczema: a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, itching, and the formation of scaly patches.
• Fungal infections: such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch, which are caused by various types of fungi.

Dosage and Administration

Before applying Beclomate EG, clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. The cream should be applied in a thin layer and gently massaged into the skin. The frequency and duration of use will depend on the specific condition being treated and the severity of the symptoms.

Mechanism of Action

Beclomate EG contains three active ingredients that work together to provide relief from skin conditions. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching. Econazole is an antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of fungi. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that helps fight against bacterial infections. The combination of these ingredients helps to alleviate symptoms and promote healing of the affected skin.
