Ciprofloxacin + Clobetasol Propionate + Metronidazole + Terbinafine is a unique combination of antibiotic, corticosteroid, and antifungal.
Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic, halts the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the enzymes that allow them to multiply. This leads to the eventual death of the bacterial cells.
Clobetasol Propionate, as a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation by suppressing the immune response that triggers it. This helps relieve swelling and redness on your skin.
Metronidazole is another antibiotic in this combination, which combats bacteria and certain parasites by damaging their DNA, leading to their death.
Terbinafine, an antifungal component, stops fungi from growing by interfering with their cell membranes. This weakens fungal cell walls, causing them to rupture and die.
