How it works
Rexiderm Plus Cream is a combination of Clotrimazole, Fusidic acid, and Clobetasol. Clobetasol works by inhibiting the production of chemicals that cause swelling, itching, and redness. Clotrimazole works by stopping the growth of fungi by disrupting certain vital processes in the fungal cell. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic. It stops the growth and multiplication of the bacteria and prevents the further spread of infection.
