modeOfAction

Mode of Action of Betnovate G Cream 30gm

How Does It Work?

  • Betnovate G cream works by the combined action of its constituents.
  • Betamethasone is a topical steroid that attaches to steroid receptors present on cells, reducing inflammation, swelling and redness of the skin.
  • Miconazole, an antifungal medicine, acts on covering the fungal cell, making them porous due to which the contents inside the fungus leak out, this, in turn, damages the fungus and kills it.
  • Gentamicin is an antibiotic that attaches to the genetic material of bacteria, making it incapable of producing substances required for survival, ultimately killing the bacteria.
  • Chlorocresol also helps in killing the bacteria and prevents microbial growth.
