Interactions
Adverse Effects
Side effects of Beclometasone + Clioquinol (Iodochlorhydroxyquin) + Clotrimazole + Gentamicin Topical :
Prolonged and intensive treatment may cause local atrophic changes in the skin such as stria, thinning, loss of elasticity, dilatation of the superficial blood vessels, telangiectasia and ecchymosis.
Prolonged use, use of large amounts, treatment of extensive areas, or application to damaged skin, when is used and when the occlusive dressing technique is applied can result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce the features of hypercortisonism such as depression of the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis with consequent suppression of the adrenal gland. These effects are most likely to be severe in infants and children. Growth may be retarded and a Cushingoid state may be produced.
Mechanism of Action
Beclomethasone controls the rate of protein synthesis, depresses the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and fibroblasts, and reverses capillary permeability and lysosomal stabilization at the cellular level to prevent or control inflammation.
Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal which binds to phospholipids in the cell membrane altering cell wall permeability causing a loss in essential intracellular elements.
Gentamicin binds to 30s and 50s ribosomal subunits of susceptible bacteria disrupting protein synthesis, thus rendering the bacterial cell membrane defective.
Clioquinol is a halogenated hydroxyquinoline with antibacterial and antifungal activity.
