Clobetasol is a steroid that decreases the production of certain substances in the body that are responsible for inflammation. This helps to reduce swelling and irritation. Itraconazole is an antifungal agent that works by slowing the growth of the fungi that cause infection. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that interferes with the chemicals required for the production of the genetic material of bacteria. This results in the death of infection-causing bacteria. Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial medicine that causes cell death by destroying the structure of the genetic material of infection-causing organisms.
