Betamethasone+gentamicin+tolnaftate+iodochloro Hydroxyquinol

Betamethasone+gentamicin+tolnaftate+iodochloro Hydroxyquinol belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives with Corticosteroids’ used to treat skin conditions like eczema (itchy inflamed skin), psoriasis (red, itchy, scaly patch on skin), insect bites, and other types of rash. Betamethasone+gentamicin+tolnaftate+iodochloro Hydroxyquinol helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain bacterial and fungal skin infections. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Betamethasone+gentamicin+tolnaftate+iodochloro Hydroxyquinol is a combination of four drugs, namely: Betamethasone (corticosteroid), Gentamicin (antibiotic), Tolnaftate (antifungal), and Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline (antifungal and antibacterial). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Gentamicin belongs to the class of aminoglycoside antibiotics that works by causing bacteria to produce faulty and abnormal proteins, thereby killing the bacteria. Tolnaftate belongs to the class of antifungals that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline belongs to the class of antifungals with additional antibacterial action. Thus Betamethasone+gentamicin+tolnaftate+iodochloro Hydroxyquinol works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of fungi and bacteria.
