How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
VISITA PLUS CREAM 30g works through a three-way action:
Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by damaging their cell membrane, leading to fungal cell death.
Betamethasone Dipropionate reduces inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching by suppressing the skin’s inflammatory response.
Neomycin helps eliminate certain bacteria by interfering with bacterial protein production, preventing bacterial growth.
Together, these ingredients treat infection while relieving uncomfortable inflammatory symptoms.
