Clonate-F Cream 20gm
Clonate-F Cream 20 gm belongs to the class of dermatological medication used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to bacterial skin infections. Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.
Clonate-F Cream 20 gm contains Clobetasol (corticosteroids) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Clobetasol works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them and clears the infection.
