Clostar-GM Cream is a ‘Topical Anti-Infective medicine with Corticosteroids’ used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. It also helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by certain skin problems. Fungal infections can affect our skin and cause infection, which may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection, thereby infecting any part of the body.

Clostar-GM Cream is a combination of three drugs: Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal), and Neomycin (antibacterial). Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids that work by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Clotrimazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi. Neomycin belongs to the antibacterial class that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins required for bacteria to grow, multiply, and increase in number, thereby destroying the bacteria.
