Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Fusidic Acid is an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial combination.
Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a moderately potent corticosteroid. It functions by inhibiting the production of inflammation-causing chemicals in skin cells. This action diminishes swelling, redness, and itching on the skin.
Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic. It operates by hindering bacterial protein synthesis, which inhibits the growth and multiplication of bacteria. This results in the elimination of infections, particularly those caused by Staphylococcus aureus, a common culprit in skin infections.
