Description
Introduction
HOE Beprogent Ointment is a prescription-only topical cream that belongs to the corticosteroid and antibiotic drug class. It contains two active ingredients: betamethasone, a potent corticosteroid, and gentamicin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. While this combination is effective and fast-acting, some common side effects include skin irritation, dryness, itching, and slight burning at the site of application.
