How it works

Ceoderm Cream contains Clotrimazole, Beclomethasone and Neomycin. Clotrimazole works by stopping the growth of fungi by disrupting certain vital processes in the cell. Beclomethasone is a topical steroid that prevents the production of prostaglandins (a substance that causes redness, itching and swelling). Neomycin kills the bacteria by blocking the production of certain proteins that are required for their growth.
