Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE-0.025%W/W + SERTACONAZOLE NITRATE-2%W/W

Uses:

Treatment of Fungal skin infections

Medicinal Benefits:

Onabet B Cream contains Sertaconazole nitrate and Beclomethasone dipropionate used to treat fungal skin infections. Sertaconazole nitrate is an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells. Thus, stops the leakage of cell contents and kills fungi. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Together, they clear the fungal infection and provide relief from redness, swelling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
