How it Works

Cipgrits CT Cream is a combination of four medicines: Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, Terbinafine and Clobetasol. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Metronidazole is also an antibiotic that kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA. Terbinafine is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
