How it works
Deflol Ointment is a combination of four medicines: Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, Itraconazole, and Clobetasol. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Ornidazole is also an antibiotic that kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA. Itraconazole is an antifungal medication that kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.
