There is no substitute for Bedicort G ointment without a prescription. The preparation contains two active substances: betamethasone (steroid drug) in the form of dipropionate and gentamicin in the form of sulphate. Betamethasone is characterized by strong anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects and has a vasoconstrictive effect. Gentamicin, on the other hand, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. The only thing you can consider is an over-the-counter ointment with hydrocortisone (also a steroid substance), e.g. Maxicortan: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97167/maxicortan-krem/apteki and ointment without a prescription Tribiotic - a medicinal product containing 3 antibiotics that have antibacterial activity. The drug is intended for use in case of scratches, wounds, burns: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/79857/tribiotic-masc/apteki However, the effect of both products will still not be the same as in the case of Bedicort G. If you expect such an effect - I recommend consulting a doctor to obtain a prescription for the drug after talking to a specialist.
