How It Works

Beclometasone reduces inflammation by suppressing cytokines and immune response; Clotrimazole inhibits fungal ergosterol synthesis, disrupting cell membrane.

Mechanism Steps

1Beclometasone binds to glucocorticoid receptors in skin cells.
2Receptor complex translocates to nucleus, modulating gene transcription.
3Decreases production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1, TNF-ฮฑ).
