🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
Beclometasone binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the skin, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators and suppressing immune responses, which decreases redness, swelling, and itching. Clotrimazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and fungal cell death. Together, they address both fungal infection and inflammation.
