Micogent Cream 20gm

Micogent Cream 20gm belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives' used to treat the skin's fungal and bacterial infections. Also, the Micogent Cream 20gm reduces swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Micogent Cream 20gm is a combination of two drugs: Gentamicin (antibiotic) and Miconazole (antifungal). Micogent Cream 20gm treat both fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that destroys bacteria by preventing important proteins needed by bacteria from being synthesized to perform vital functions. Miconazole is an antifungal that prevents fungi from developing by keeping them from forming their own protective coating. Together, the skin infection is successfully treated.

Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, infects, and grows in the body. It can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria come in three basic shapes, namely spherical, rod, or spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell walls) or gram-negative (do not have cell walls). Appropriate tests are done to identify bacterial strains, and based on the results, proper medication is prescribed. Some common symptoms of bacterial infection include cough, fever, and tiredness.
