4G Cream contains Clobetasol propionate, Itraconazole, Ofloxacin and Ornidazole. Clobetasol propionate is a corticosteroid that inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. Itraconazole is an antifungal that weakens and damages the fungal cell membranes causing the main components of fungal cells to leak out. Thus, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that interferes with the bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria. Thereby, kills bacteria and clears the infection. Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal that works by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and inhibits the formation of new DNA. Thereby, kills micro-organisms and clears the infection.
