BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+MUPIROCIN
About
BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+MUPIROCIN is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, such as impetigo (a weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin). Bacterial skin infections occur when bacteria enter the body through a scratch or cut in the skin. They often begin as small, red bumps that increase in size slowly.
BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE+MUPIROCIN contains Beclomethasone dipropionate (corticosteroid) and Mupirocin (antibiotic). Beclomethasone dipropionate works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic that kills bacteria by causing them to produce faulty and abnormal proteins. Thus, it clears the infection.
