BORAX+CLOBETASOL+MICONAZOLE+ZINC OXIDE+NEOMYCIN contains Clobetasol, Miconazole, Neomycin, Borax, and Zinc oxide. Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids that 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. Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi. Neomycin belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, kills the bacteria and clears the infection. Borax and Zinc oxide are minerals that provide necessary nutrients to the body.
