Exel 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. Exel 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.
Exel 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.
What are the instructions for the storage and disposal of Exel Cream?
Keep Exel Cream in its original container, tightly closed. Store according to the label's instructions. Dispose of any unused medication and prevent it from being ingested by pets, children or others.
Can I stop using Exel Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop using Exel Cream even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
What are the precautions needed to be taken while using Exel Cream?
Exel Cream should not be applied to the face and contact with eyes must be avoided. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this may increase medicine absorption and potential side effects. This medication is only for the condition it was prescribed for. Do not use it for other conditions without consulting your doctor. Do not give it to other people even if their condition appears similar.
How to use Exel Cream?
Exel Cream should be used as directed by the doctor or according to the label's instructions. Apply a thin layer of Exel Cream on affected areas, two or three times daily if prescribed.

Exel Cream is unsafe to use during pregnancy as there is definite evidence of risk to the developing baby. However, the doctor may rarely prescribe it in some life-threatening situations if the benefits are more than the potential risks. Please consult your doctor.
