How Betaeno Products work
Betamethasone + Neomycin is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone + Neomycin1 and Betamethasone + Neomycin2. Betamethasone + Neomycin1 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Betamethasone + Neomycin2 is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
