Amol-G is a triple-action cream formulated to treat a variety of skin conditions. It combines an antifungal, an antibiotic, and a corticosteroid to address inflammation, itching, and infections caused by both bacteria and fungi. This makes it a highly effective solution for complex skin issues common in warm, humid climates like those found in Tanzania and other parts of Africa, where fungal and bacterial infections are prevalent.
2. Available Product Formulations
Amol-G is available as a 10gm topical cream.
3. Uses
This cream is primarily used to treat inflammatory skin conditions that are complicated by fungal or bacterial infections. It is effective for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch, providing relief from redness, swelling, and itching. In Tanzania, where these conditions are often exacerbated by heat and moisture, Amol-G’s comprehensive formula is particularly beneficial.
4. How to Use
Dosage: Apply a thin layer to the affected skin area 2-3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
Duration: Continue treatment for the full duration prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from returning. Treatment duration should not exceed 7 days without medical supervision.
5. Side Effects
Common side effects may include a burning sensation, itching, redness, or irritation at the application site. If these effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
6. Interactions
Amol-G is for external use only and is not known to have significant interactions with oral medications. However, inform your doctor if you are using other topical creams or ointments to avoid potential adverse effects. It does not interact with food.
7. Warnings
Do not use this cream on open wounds, blisters, or lesions. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and nose. Do not use occlusive dressings or bandages over the treated area unless specifically instructed by a doctor, as this can increase the risk of systemic side effects. Not for use in children under 12 years of age without a doctor’s recommendation. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

9. How Amol-G Works
Amol-G is a potent combination therapy. Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, works by inhibiting the release of inflammatory chemicals in the body, such as prostaglandins, thereby reducing redness, swelling, and itching. Clotrimazole is an antifungal agent that disrupts the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell death and stopping fungal growth. Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, works by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins in bacteria, preventing their growth and proliferation. The synergistic action of these three ingredients provides a broad-spectrum treatment for mixed skin infections.
