About CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE+NEOMYCIN

Bacterial infection occurs when bacteria enter the body through broken skin. Bacterial skin infections are generally mild and can be treated using topical antibiotics.

It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
