How Clodam Products work
Clobetasol + Gentamicin + Miconazole is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol + Gentamicin + Miconazole1, Clobetasol + Gentamicin + Miconazole2 and Clobetasol + Gentamicin + Miconazole3, which treats skin infections. Clobetasol + Gentamicin + Miconazole1 is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. It does cure the condition but provides temporary relief of symptoms. Clobetasol + Gentamicin + Miconazole2 is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Clobetasol + Gentamicin + Miconazole3 is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
