Yes, Beclometasone + Clotrimazole + Lidocaine + Gentamicin causes stomach upset. It is a common side effect of this drug but the exact cause behind it is not known. Please inform your doctor if you are experiencing stomach upset after taking this medicine.

Dr. Chinmaya Bal MBBS , General Physician

This is because a long-term use of Beclometasone + Clotrimazole + Lidocaine + Gentamicin can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency. Stomach acids help in the absorption of Vitamin B 12, and this drug suppresses stomach acid which is required for the absorption of vitamin B12. Hence patients taking [medicine] for a long time have Vitamin B12 deficiency. To replenish Vitamin B12 in your body your doctor prescribes this vitamin along with this medicine.
