Metazone;- Be-meta-sone dipropionate is an active topical corticosteroid which produces a rapid response in those inflammatory dermatoses that are normally responsive to topical corticosteroid therapy, and is often effective in the less responsive conditions such as psoriasis.
- Neomycin sulphate is a broad-spectrum bactericidal anti-infective effective against the majority of bacteria commonly associated with skin infections.
- Clotrimazole is an imidazole derivative with a broad spectrum of antimycotic activity. It also exhibits activity against Trichomonas, Staphylococci, Streptococci and Bacteroides. It has no effect on Lactobacilli.
- Clotrimazole has a broad antimycotic spectrum of action in vitro and in vivo, which includes dermatophytes, yeasts, moulds, etc.
- The mode of action of clotrimazole is fungistatic or fungicidal depending on the concentration of clotrimazole at the site of infection.
What is
Metazone used for?
- Metazone provides a comprehensive treatment for various inflammatory dermatological disorders superadded with bacterial or superficial fungal infections of the skin.
- Be-meta-sone Dipropionate is one of the most potent topical corticosteroid available and rapidly controls the symptoms such as itching, redness and scaling. Many times the inflammatory skin disorders which respond to topical corticosteroids are superadded with bacterial and/or fungal infections of the skin. In these conditions, treatment with anti-inflammatory agents alone is not sufficient and a proper anti-infective has to be added in the regimen.
- Clotrimazole is a broad spectrum synthetic antifungal agent which has fungicidal action against all the fungi responsible for superficial fungal infections of the skin.
- Neomycin Sulphate is a broad spectrum antibacterial. Hence this Cream effectively controls inflammatory disorders superadded with bacterial and/or fungal infections of the skin.
