Therapeutic Class
Betamethasone valerate (Corticosteriods)
Clioquinol (Antifungal drug and Antiprotozoal drug)
Dose and Direction of Use
- It is used for external purpose only.

Mode of Action
Clioquinol is a member of a family of drugs called hydroxyquinolines which inhibit certain enzymes related to DNA replication. The drugs have been found to have activity against both viral and protozoal infections. Betamethasone binds to specific intracellular glucocorticoid receptors and subsequently binds to DNA to modify gene expression. The synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins is induced while the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators is inhibited
