How Dermikem OC Products work
Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole is a combination of four medicines: Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole1, Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole2, Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole3 and Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole4, which treats skin infections. Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole1 is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole2 is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole3 is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Terbinafine + Clobetasol + Ofloxacin + Ornidazole4 is also an antibiotic which kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA.
