BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE + MICONAZOLE is a combination medication comprising a corticosteroid and an antifungal agent.
Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a potent synthetic glucocorticoid. It works by binding to corticosteroid receptors, activating genes that reduce inflammation and suppressing those that cause it. This process decreases the production of substances like prostaglandins and leukotrienes that cause redness, itching, and swelling in the skin.
Miconazole, on the other hand, is an imidazole antifungal agent. It inhibits the production of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. As a result, the fungal cell membranes become permeable, leading to an outflow of cellular contents that inhibits the fungus's growth.
In combination, these two components effectively manage inflammatory skin conditions that are accompanied by fungal infections.
