Covate-G Cream is a combination medicine used in the treatment of bacterial skin infections, minimizing symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching by acting against the infection-causing microorganisms. Covate-G Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.
Covate-G Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Gentamicin. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

No, do not discontinue Covate-G Cream prematurely, even if your symptoms seem to have improved. Complete the full treatment course as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
