Mode of actions

Fluocinolone acetonide is a man-made corticosteroid that is applied to the skin to reduce inflammation, itching, and swelling.

Neomycin is an antibiotic from the aminoglycoside group. It works by attaching to the 30S part of the bacterial ribosome, which stops bacteria from making proteins and leads to their death. Neomycin is effective against many types of gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria that need oxygen to grow. However, it does not work against fungi, viruses, or most bacteria that can grow without oxygen (anaerobes).

Dosage & Administration
