How it works
Fungirest B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Clotrimazole. Beclometasone is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
