Mode of Action of Candex B Lotion 15ml
How Does It Work?
Candex B lotion 15 ml is a combination of two medications: Beclomethasone and Clotrimazole, to treat fungal skin infections.
Beclomethasone is a steroidal medication. It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are a type of chemical messengers. Prostaglandin is responsible for triggering various symptoms of skin infection such as redness of the skin, itching, swelling, scaling, etc. By blocking it, Candex B lotion helps relieve all these symptoms and inflammation due to an infection.
Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication. It works by acting primarily on the cell wall of the fungus. It damages the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane in the cell walls of the fungi. It thereby stops the synthesis of the substance that is required by the fungus for its growth and development....
