About Grm Ointment

Medicinal Benefits of Grm Ointment

HALOBETASOL+MUPIROCIN consists of Halobetasol (corticosteroid) and Mupirocin (antibiotic). HALOBETASOL+MUPIROCIN is used to treat various skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (red patches on the skin with white scales), dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin), allergies, rash, and impetigo. Halobetasol is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. Mupirocin is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out its vital functions.
