A dermatological combination drug called Taconaz B cream is applied topically to treat fungal infections of the skin that cause eczema. A fungus affects the tissue and develops an infection, which is known as a fungal infection. It can spread from one individual to another.
Taconaz B Cream consists of two drugs Sertaconazole 2.0% + Beclometasone 0.025%.
Sertaconazole works by damaging and causing holes in the fungal cell membranes, leading to their bursts, ultimately killing fungi.
Beclometasone works by acting inside skin cells, thereby inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling.
