CLOBETASOL+NEOMYCIN+MICONAZOLE

About

CLOBETASOL+NEOMYCIN+MICONAZOLE belongs to a group of medications called ‘anti-infectives’ used to treat swelling, itching, and redness caused due to bacterial or fungal skin infections. CLOBETASOL+NEOMYCIN+MICONAZOLE effectively treats bacterial and fungal skin infections. Bacterial skin infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows on the skin and cause infection. They often appear small, red bumps on the skin, which gradually increase in size. Fungal skin infection is a disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue (mostly sweaty areas that don't get enough airflow) and causes an infection. 

CLOBETASOL+NEOMYCIN+MICONAZOLE is a combination of three drugs: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids.

Miconazole is an antifungal agent that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
