Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole + Terbinafine is a combination medicine that integrates an anti-inflammatory agent, two antibiotics, and an antifungal agent.
Clobetasol, a very effective corticosteroid, reduces skin inflammation by blocking the production of chemicals that cause swelling and redness.
Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic which stops bacteria from growing by interfering with their DNA replication process.
Ornidazole, another antibiotic, destroys bacteria and some protozoans by damaging their DNA and inhibiting protein synthesis.
Terbinafine, an antifungal ingredient, prevents fungus from growing on your skin by disrupting the fungal cell membrane formation.
