Medicine Description genmycin-plus 15 gm
genmycin plus 15 gm Cream is a medication that combines the antibiotic gentamicin with the corticosteroid betamethasone. Gentamicin functions by binding to the ribosomal RNA of bacteria, disrupting protein synthesis, which ultimately leads to bacterial cell death. This broad-spectrum antibiotic is effective against a range of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. On the other hand, betamethasone is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing immune responses. Together, they address both the infectious and inflammatory components of skin conditions, promoting healing and alleviating discomfort.
