How CEODERM CREAM Works

CEODERM CREAM contains three medicines, namely beclomethasone, clotrimazole and
neomycin. Beclomethasone is a steroid medicine which stops your body from
producing certain chemicals that causes inflammation and swelling, while
parallelly making your body release chemicals that heals inflammation.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication which works by inhibiting the synthesis
of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Without
ergosterol, the cell membranes become weakened and leaky, leading to fungal cell
damage.

Neomycinis an antibiotic which stops protein synthesis in bacteria which is
necessary for it to survive. As a result, it disrupts bacterial growth and
replication and controls the spread of bacterial infection.
