Contraindications

Hypersensitivity.

Mode of actions

Betamethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that inhibits the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and fibroblasts, reverses capillary permeability, and stabilizes lysosomes at the cellular level, preventing and reducing inflammation. Clotrimazole is a fungal antifungal drug that binds to phospholipids in the cell membrane of the fungus. By changing cell wall permeability, it causes the loss of critical intracellular components.
