Mechanism of Clotrimazole, Beclomethasone Dipropionate, and Neomycin Sulphate Cream

Clotrimazole- It damages the permeability of the barrier in fungal cell membranes by blocking the production of ergosterol. Ergosterol is a vital component required for fungal cell growth. Therefore, the elimination of ergosterol leads to the inhibition of fungal growth.

Neomycin Sulphate- It is an aminoglycoside that binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria. This causes misreading of mRNA and results in non-functional proteins, which pause the bacterial growth.

Beclomethasone Dipropionate- It acts on glucocorticoid receptors to suppress the inflammatory response, which reduces chemical messengers like prostaglandins that cause redness, itching, and swelling.
