Cotrex Ointment 15 GM consists of two main active ingredients:

• Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025 %): This potent corticosteroid works on your body by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching of the skin. It does this by binding to specific receptors inside your cells and altering the function of genes responsible for producing an inflammatory response.
• Neomycin (0.5 %): It is an antibiotic effective against bacterial skin infections by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, thus halting their growth.
• Clotrimazole (1 %): This broad-spectrum antifungal agent helps control fungal growth. It alters the structure of the fungal cell membrane by inhibiting the production of ergosterol, which is a key component of the membrane. This disruption leads to leakage of cellular contents, thereby inhibiting fungal growth.

• Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
• Ensure the tube is sealed tightly after each use.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Since Cotrex Ointment 15 GM is used to manage fungal skin infections, try to keep your skin clean and dry to prevent the growth of fungi. Remember to dry your skin properly after a bath or washing your hands.
• It's advisable to wear breathable fabrics like cotton, as they can help reduce sweating. Excessive moisture can create an environment conducive for fungal growth. Always consult your doctor for any specific diet or lifestyle changes that may aid in managing your condition.
