SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE
About SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE
SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE is a dermatological medication used for the topical treatment of fungal infection of the skin with eczema. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).
SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Sertaconazole (antifungal) and Beclometasone dipropionate (corticosteroid). Sertaconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes, ultimately killing fungi. On the other hand, Beclometasone dipropionate works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling.
SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE is only for external use. Some people may experience skin tenderness, mild rash, dry skin, skin bruising, itching, irritation, redness, burning, or stinging sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE. Do not apply SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE to broken skin or open cuts/wounds. Do not swallow SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE. In case of accidental swallowing, please consult a doctor immediately. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE catches fire and burns easily.

Medicinal Benefits
SERTACONAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE DIPROPIONATE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Sertaconazole and Beclometasone dipropionate used to treat fungal skin infections. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Sertaconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi. Beclometasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid 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. Together, they clear the fungal infection and provide relief from redness, swelling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
