How Leocan Xl Gel works
Leocan Xl Gel is a combination of three medicines: Fluconazole, Fluocinolone acetonide and Neomycin which treat skin infections. Fluconazole is an antifungal medication. It stops the growth of fungus by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Neomycin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
