Borax+clobetasol+miconazole+neomycin

About

Borax+clobetasol+miconazole+neomycin belongs to a class of dermatological medication that is used to reduce swelling, itching and redness caused due to bacterial and fungal skin infections. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes an infection. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria penetrate through hair follicles or the skin breaks and infects the skin.

Borax+clobetasol+miconazole+neomycin is a combination of Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Miconazole (antifungal), Neomycin (antibiotic), and Borax (an additive that removes dead skin and microbes). Clobetasol blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), making the skin red, swollen and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal agent that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic used in treating bacterial and fungal infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Borax is a mineral that provides necessary nutrients to the body.

Borax+clobetasol+miconazole+neomycin is for external use only. It is generally safe to use. Some may experience side effects like dry skin, burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site.
