🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines a corticosteroid and an antifungal agent. Beclometasone binds to glucocorticoid receptors inside skin cells, leading to reduced production of inflammatory substances such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This decreases redness, swelling, itching, and heat in the applied area. Clotrimazole works by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes leaky and the fungus cannot survive. Together, these actions reduce inflammation and eliminate the fungal infection.
