Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Betamethasone is a corticosteroid with primarily glucocorticoid activity. It may suppress the formation, release, and activity of endogenous inflammatory mediators (e.g. kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes, prostaglandins) by inducing phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) and subsequently inhibiting the release of arachidonic acid. Potency of betamethasone may vary from moderately to very potent depending on the dosage form.
Clioquinol, a halogenated hydroxyquinoline, is a broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal agent. It chelates the bacterial surface and trace metals necessary for bacterial growth. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Betamethasone: Absorbed percutaneously. Metabolism: Betamethasone: Metabolised in the liver. Excretion: Betamethasone: Via urine and bile.
