Clotrimazol is a broad-spectrum antifungal drug of the azole group, due to its low absorption capacity, it mainly treats fungal infections of the skin, mucous membranes and vaginal candidiasis. All azole antifungals are capable of inhibiting the alpha demethylase enzyme, which prevents the synthesis of ergosterol and lipids of the fungal cell membrane, changes the permeability of the cell membrane, thereby destroying fungal cells. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that is active mainly on gram-negative aerobic bacteria and some specific gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococcus, streptococcus, pneumococcus. Drugs for the treatment of serious infections caused by gram-negative bacteria acquired in the hospital such as bacteremia, biliary tract infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections. Besides, Gentamicin antibiotic is also effective against some bacteria such as Mycoplasma, Actinomyes. Mycobacterium, fungi and anaerobic bacteria with anti-Gentamicin activity. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid with strong glucocorticoid effects, and also has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, vasoconstrictor, rheumatic, lupus, multiple sclerosis, problems caused by low levels of adrenal hormones. Betamethasone can suppress the inflammatory response but cannot cure it completely. When you stop using the drug can cause the disease to come back.

Gentamicin antibiotics like other aminosides, gentamicin is less absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract but well absorbed through intravenous and intramuscular injection. The drug can reach its maximum concentration 30 to 60 minutes after intramuscular injection. Gentamicin is absorbed mainly in the extracellular fluid and has relatively little metabolism in vivo. In addition, the active substance Gentamicin is eliminated mainly via the urinary tract, with an average half-life of 2 to 4 hours. Betamethasone is readily absorbed when applied directly to the skin, and is less widely bound to plasma proteins. The drug is metabolized mainly by the liver, partly in the kidneys and excreted from the body in the urine.
