Action
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Clobetasol is a highly active corticosteroid that has topical anti-inflammatory action brought about partly by vasoconstriction and reduced collagen synthesis. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that binds to ribosomal 30S and 50S subunits of susceptible bacteria, thus inhibiting protein synthesis; it also causes misreading of the genetic codes on the mRNA template. Nystatin works by binding to ergosterol in the cell membrane of fungus resulting in a change in the cell wall permeability and leakage of cellular components.
Storage
Store below 25°C.
