Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Fluocinolone+Miconazole+Neomycin works by the combined effects of its components - Fluocinolone, Miconazole and Neomycin.
Fluocinolone is a steroid, which works by blocking the production of certain chemical substances in the body (prostaglandins) which cause itching, swelling and redness.
Miconazole is an antifungal agent; it stops the growth of fungi by inhibiting the formation of a fungal cell wall component.
Neomycin is an antibiotic and it works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria causing infection.
