About Clopinate-F Cream 10 gm

Clopinate-F Cream 10 gm is used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by bacterial skin infections. Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Clopinate-F Cream 10 gm contains Clobetasol (corticosteroids) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Clobetasol works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then, the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them and clears the infection.
