How it works
Clobetasol is a steroid that prevents the production of certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) that causes redness, itching and swelling on your skin. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that stops the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase which helps to kill or prevent the growth of bacteria. Terbinafine stops the growth of fungi by preventing the formation of the fungal cell wall.
