How Biocip FC Cream works
Biocip FC Cream is a combination of three medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide, Ciprofloxacin and Clotrimazole. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
