Bacterialinfection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection, thereby infecting any part of the body.

Terbinaforce-Plus NF Cream 15 gm is a combination of three drugs, namely: Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal), and Neomycin (antibacterial). Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Clotrimazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin belongs to the class of antibacterial that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins required for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers, thereby destroying the bacteria.
