🧴🦠🧬 Clobetasol 0.05% + Miconazole 2% + Neomycin 0.5% Cream: Triple-Action Relief for Skin Infections & Inflammation

This combination topical formulation blends three powerful ingredients—Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%, Miconazole Nitrate 2%, and Neomycin Sulfate 0.5%—to provide broad-spectrum treatment for a variety of inflammatory skin conditions complicated by fungal and bacterial infections. It delivers anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial effects in one cream, offering rapid and comprehensive relief.

🔬 Composition and Mechanism of Action

🔹 Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%) – Super-potent corticosteroid

• Reduces inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching

• Acts by suppressing the release of inflammatory chemicals (cytokines)

• Provides fast symptom relief in eczema, dermatitis, and allergic reactions

🔹 Miconazole Nitrate (2%) – Broad-spectrum antifungal

• Disrupts fungal cell membrane by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis

• Kills or inhibits growth of fungi responsible for ringworm, candidiasis, tinea infections

• Also effective against some Gram-positive bacteria

🔹 Neomycin Sulfate (0.5%) – Aminoglycoside antibiotic

• Inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to 30S ribosomal subunits

• Effective against Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria

• Helps prevent secondary bacterial infections in broken or inflamed skin

Together, these agents provide targeted relief from mixed microbial infections with associated inflammation and itching.
