How Defungin Products work
Beclometasone + Clotrimazole is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone + Clotrimazole1 and Beclometasone + Clotrimazole2. Beclometasone + Clotrimazole1 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Beclometasone + Clotrimazole2 is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
