05How It Works
Alnabate Forte Cream is a combination of three medicines: Terbinafine, Ofloxacin and Clobetasol. Terbinafine is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the bacterial cells from diving and repairing, thereby killing the bacteria. Clobetasol is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Together, they treat your skin infection effectively.
