How Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Clotrimazole + Gentamicin + Lidocaine / Lignocaine works
- Beclometasone Dipropionate + Clotrimazole + Gentamicin + Lidocaine / Lignocaine combines four components that each target a different aspect of ear infection and inflammation.
- Beclometasone Dipropionate, a corticosteroid, binds to steroid receptors and blocks inflammation-causing substances such as prostaglandins, reducing swelling and inflammation.
- Clotrimazole, an antifungal, disrupts the cell membranes of fungi, creating holes that lead to the death of the fungal cell and stopping the infection from spreading.
- Gentamicin, an antibiotic, attaches to bacterial ribosomes and interferes with protein synthesis, which is essential for bacterial survival, eliminating the bacteria causing the infection.
- Lidocaine / Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic that blocks nerve signals by preventing sodium from entering nerve endings, numbing the area and providing quick pain relief.
