Mode of Action of Betamil Gm Cream 25gm

How Does It Work?
Betamil-GM cream relieves pain, redness, itching and swelling by the action of its important constituents, Betamethasone, Gentamicin and Miconazole.
Any infection leads to activation of the inflammatory pathway which causes redness, itching and swelling of the infected area. Betamethasone is a topical steroid that attaches to steroid receptors present on cells. This causes an increase in the production of substances that stop the inflammatory process and decrease the production of substances causing inflammation. As a result, pain, redness, swelling and itching decreases
Miconazole, an antifungal medicine, acts on covering of the fungal cell. This makes them porous due to which the contents inside the fungus leak out. This damages the fungus and kills it.
Gentamicin is an anti-bacterial medicine that attaches to the genetic material of bacteria, making it incapable of producing substances required for survival. Hence, bacteria are ultimately killed. Thus, helps in reducing the symptoms.
