How It Works

Clobetasol reduces inflammation by suppressing immune response in the skin. Neomycin kills susceptible bacteria by stopping protein synthesis, while Nystatin works against fungal infections by damaging fungal cell membranes. Together, they control inflammation and infection simultaneously.

• Dryness or irritation
• Stretch marks with prolonged use
• Increased risk of skin infection if overused

Do Not Use If
