How it works
Surfaz-Sn Cream is a combination of Clotrimazole, Beclomethasone, and Neomycin.
Clotrimazole is an antifungal medicine that works by damaging the cell membrane of the fungi. This prevents the growth of fungus and stops the spread of infection.
Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid. It works by decreasing the formation of certain chemical substances in your body that are responsible for causing redness, swelling, and itching of the affected part of your skin.
Neomycin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. This prevents cell growth and eventually kills the bacteria.
