Sertacream B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Sertaconazole and Beclometasone. Sertaconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Beclometasone is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.
