About Clobetasol+clotrimazole+gentamicin+miconazole
Clobetasol+clotrimazole+gentamicin+miconazole is a potent topical medication used for treating various skin conditions involving fungal and bacterial infections. It also helps relieve swelling, redness, and itching caused by certain skin conditions. A fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades the skin, leading to an infection that may sometimes spread from person to person. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body, potentially affecting various areas and spreading rapidly.
Clobetasol+clotrimazole+gentamicin+miconazole is a combination medicine containing Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal), Gentamicin (antibiotic), and Miconazole (antifungal). Clobetasol belongs to the corticosteroid class and works by penetrating skin cells to inhibit the release of chemical messengers responsible for redness, itching, and swelling. Clotrimazole, an antifungal, acts by forming holes in fungal cell membranes, leading to fungal cell death. Gentamicin, an antibiotic, prevents bacterial growth by blocking protein synthesis in bacterial cells. Miconazole, another antifungal, also disrupts fungal cell membranes, effectively killing fungi.
Clobetasol+clotrimazole+gentamicin+miconazole is for external use only. Follow your doctor’s instructions when using Clobetasol+clotrimazole+gentamicin+miconazole.
