The primary use of Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Ketoconazole + Neomycin is to manage various skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi. It belongs to the group of topical corticosteroids, antifungals, and antibiotics respectively.
It is also used for managing inflammatory skin conditions with secondary bacterial infections and as a preventive measure against skin infections in susceptible individuals.
Local skin reactions such as burning, itching, redness, or dryness
Temporary lightening of the skin (hypopigmentation)
Inflammation of hair follicles (folliculitis)
Beclomethasone Dipropionate belongs to the corticosteroid class of mediicnes. It reduces the inflammation in the affected area by making immune cells less responsive, thus decreasing the release of substances that cause swelling and discomfort.
Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent. It stops fungi from growing and spreading by disrupting the production of a substance needed for their survival, called ergosterol.
Neomycin is an antibiotic that helps to kill bacteria. It performs this task by blocking the bacteria's ability to make proteins, which are essential for them to live and multiply.
