Clobetasol Propionate + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole + Terbinafine falls under a topical antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapeutic category.
Clobetasol Propionate is a potent corticosteroid. It reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of substances that cause redness and itching in the skin.
Ofloxacin is an antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It kills bacteria by inhibiting their ability to replicate and repair DNA, interfering with their ability to multiply and survive.
Ornidazole, a nitroimidazole antibiotic, disrupts bacterial DNA, thereby killing bacteria as well as certain parasites and anaerobic organisms.
Terbinafine is an antifungal medication. It blocks the synthesis of ergosterol, a component essential for the cell membranes of fungi, thereby stopping fungal growth.
