Mode of Action of Rexiderm Plus Cream
How Does It Work?
Rexiderm plus cream contains three essential components, namely 2% w/w Fusidic acid, 1% w/w clotrimazole and 0.05% w/w clobetasol.
Fusidic acid is a potent antibacterial agent. It exerts its mechanism of action by inhibiting protein synthesis in the bacteria. It blocks the ribosome, which is essential for bacterial protein synthesis.
Clotrimazole is a potent antifungal agent. It acts by inhibiting ergosterol and disrupting the cell membrane of the fungi. As a result, the important contents of the cell leak out and cause cell death.
Clobetasol is a potent corticosteroid. It has properties of anti-inflammatory, vasoconstrictive (constriction of blood vessels) and antipruritic (relieves itching). It inhibits late phase allergic reactions by inhibiting the metabolism of arachidonic acid and blocks the production of prostaglandins and histamines....
