How Fluconazole + Beclometasone works

Fluconazole + Beclometasone is a combination of two medicines: Fluconazole and Beclometasone which treat skin infections.

Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
