How it works
Candibiotic Plus Ear Drop contains Clotrimazole, Beclomethasone, and Neomycin. Clotrimazole works by stopping the growth of fungi by disrupting certain vital processes in the fungal 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.
