Ciprofloxacin: Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that works by stopping bacteria from repairing, dividing, or reproducing and ultimately killing them.
Metronidazole: Another antibiotic, metronidazole, works by killing other microorganisms, including parasites and anaerobic bacteria that cause infections by destroying DNA.
Terbinafine hydrochloride: Terbinafine is an antifungal medication that limits the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming a protective shield.
Clobetasol Propionate: Finally, the steroid Clobetasol works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers called prostaglandins that cause itching, redness, and swelling of the skin.
Some potential benefits include:
Broad-spectrum antibacterial effects: Ciprofloxacin and metronidazole are both antibiotics that can target a variety of bacterial infections, including skin and soft tissue infections.
