How it Works

Clotop ND Cream is a combination of two medicines: Nadifloxacin and Clobetasol which treat skin infections. Nadifloxacin is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Clobetasol is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
