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. Lidocaine: Amide-type local anesthetic; reversibly block the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses by interfering with the flux of sodium ions though the neuronal membrane. Phenylephrine: Alpha adrenergic agonist; elicits localized vasoconstriction and decreases inflammation .
