Beclomethasone is a steroid that blocks the synthesis of natural substances, i.e. prostaglandins, which are responsible for itching, swelling and inflammation.
Clotrimazole inhibits the formation of a fungal cell wall component, leading to altered permeability and growth of the fungus, which can cause infection.
Neomycin is an antibiotic agent used to treat bacterial infections. It inhibits the growth and multiplication of bacteria that cause infection.
The medicines work more effectively by reducing the infection and inflammation of the ear.
