Clobetasone + Gentamicin + Miconazole is a combination medicine with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal activities.
Clobetasone is a corticosteroid. It works by activating certain proteins within skin cells that reduce inflammation, itching, and redness. It also causes small blood vessels to narrow, further reducing swelling and redness.
Gentamicin is an antibiotic. It works by attaching to bacteria's protein-making machinery, disrupting their ability to make essential proteins. This kills the bacteria or slows their growth, helping to eliminate the bacterial infection.
Miconazole is an antifungal agent. It stops fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol. This disruption makes holes in the fungal cell membranes, causing essential cell contents to leak out. This effectively kills the fungi, clearing up the infection.
Overall, this combination medication effectively treats inflammatory skin conditions with bacterial and fungal infections by leveraging its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.
