Mode of actions

Clotrimazole is a type of antifungal medicine that works by attaching to certain fats in the cell membrane of fungi. This changes the way the cell wall lets things in and out, causing the fungus to lose important materials it needs to survive.

Hydrocortisone is a steroid used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response. It helps with inflammation by stopping certain white blood cells from moving to the affected area and by decreasing leakage from blood vessels. Hydrocortisone can also be used to replace hormones in people who don’t produce enough natural steroids.
