How it works
Azonate GC Cream is a combination of Betamethasone, Gentamicin and Clotrimazole. Betamethasone works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical substances in the body that cause swelling, redness, and itching of the skin. Gentamicin works by stopping the growth and multiplication of the bacteria. Thus, it eventually kills them. Clotrimazole works by damaging the protective covering of the fungi.
