How it works

Clobetasol works by inhibiting the release of certain substances in the body that cause inflammation (swelling, redness, pain, etc). Gentamicin works by inhibiting the protein synthesis which is essential for the bacteria to grow. Miconazole acts by stopping the production of a certain vital component for the fungi. This results in disruption of the cell membrane formation process and inhibits the growth of the organism. Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by disrupting certain vital processes in the cell.
