Effigenta (0.5/1mg) 15g Ointment

Betamethasone is a powerful steroid that serves as an anti-inflammatory and immune system suppressant. It operates by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in cells, activating DNA and facilitating the transcription of anti-inflammatory proteins. Betamethasone is often used for allergic reactions, skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, and respiratory issues like asthma. It's also used to manage autoimmune diseases by suppressing the immune system. Gentamycin is an aminoglycoside-type antibiotic that is particularly effective against bacterial infections, especially those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae among others. It functions by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit in bacteria, disrupting the movement of amino acids across the cell membrane, and thereby inhibiting the synthesis of proteins. This ultimately results in the death of the bacterial cells.

An overdose of betamethasone and gentamycin can result in severe health problems. Due to the risk of adrenal suppression, where the body ceases natural steroid production, it is crucial to seek emergency medical attention if an overdose is suspected. Symptoms of overdose on betamethasone may also include glucose intolerance, increased risk of infection, and skin irritation. Gentamycin overdose may result in an imbalance of body fluids and minerals, cause ear and balance problems, and lead to kidney damage. Emergency medical services will be able to assess the situation and decide the required action. They may attempt to counteract the effects of the overdose by inducing vomiting or administering other medications. Let me know if you'd like more details on any of these medications.
