How Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Neomycin works
- Beclometasone Dipropionate + Clotrimazole + Neomycin works through three separate actions that target inflammation, fungal infection, and bacterial infection together.
- Beclometasone Dipropionate is a corticosteroid. It reduces inflammation in the skin by blocking the release of substances that cause redness, swelling, and itching.
- Clotrimazole is an antifungal. It damages the cell membrane of fungi, stopping their growth and clearing the infection.
- Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow, preventing bacterial infection.
- Together, these three components treat mixed skin infections where inflammation, fungi, and bacteria are all present.
