Clobetasol + Nadifloxacin is a potent corticosteroid and antibiotic combination.
Clobetasol is a super-high potency corticosteroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (pro-inflammatory mediators) that are responsible for redness, swelling, and itching of skin.
Nadifloxacin is a topical fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It fights against the bacteria causing skin infections by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. This is done by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, which are essential for bacterial DNA replication and transcription.
