4. Increased Hair Growth: Unusual hair growth at the application site.
5. Folliculitis: Inflammation of hair follicles, leading to pimples or acne.
6. Stretch Marks: Long-term use can lead to the development of stretch marks (striae).

Serious side effects are rare but may include signs of systemic absorption of the corticosteroid or antibiotic, especially with long-term or extensive use.

Precautions:

 Before using Cutibet-G Cream, consider the following precautions:

1. Allergies: Inform your healthcare provider if you are allergic to betamethasone, gentamicin, or any other corticosteroids or antibiotics.
2. Medical History: Discuss your medical history, especially if you have had skin infections, diabetes, or immune system issues.
3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this cream.
4. Avoid Contact with Eyes and Mucous Membranes: Do not apply the cream to the eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Proper Use: Apply the cream exactly as directed by your healthcare provider or according to the instructions on the packaging. Avoid using more than the recommended amount or for longer than prescribed.
6. Occlusive Dressings: Avoid using occlusive dressings (airtight coverings) unless directed by your doctor, as this can increase the absorption of the corticosteroid and antibiotic.
7. Infection Risk: Avoid using the cream on infected skin areas unless advised by a healthcare professional. Corticosteroids can mask or worsen infections.
8. Children: Use in children should be closely monitored, as they are more susceptible to side effects from corticosteroids.
9. Complete the Course: Ensure to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to prevent recurrence or worsening of the infection.

Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider and the instructions provided with the medication for the safest and most effective use of Cutibet-G Cream.
