| Mechanism of action | Bioderm Cream is a combination of three medicines: Betamethasone Topical, Clotrimazole TOPICAL and Neomycin Topical. Betamethasone Topical is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy due to allergy or infection. It does not cure the condition but provides temporary relief of symptoms. Clotrimazole TOPICAL is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Neomycin Topical is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins, required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. |
