Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi

Pharmacokinets

Some researchers have found that suppression of cortisol levels is still apparent 96 hours after topical use of this medicine, which implies that clobetasol can stay in your system for long periods of time, possibly for up to a few weeks. Clobetasol is not recommended to be used for more than two consecutive weeks

The salivary pharmacokinetic profile of miconazole in the oral gel showed peak concentrations 30 min after each gel application. The mean maximum salivary miconazole concentration over the 12-h period occurred 30 min after the second application of the gel.

There is limited information on the metabolism of neomycin, as there is limited systemic absorption following drug administration. Metabolism is deemed to be negligible. The small absorbed fraction of neomycin is excreted by the kidney. The unabsorbed portion of the drug is excreted unchanged in the feces.
