Treats inflammatory skin conditions with secondary fungal or bacterial infection, such as infected eczematous dermatitis, particularly when conventional corticosteroid therapy alone may be insufficient.

Beclomethasone provides anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting inflammatory mediators and reducing immune cell activity, while Clioquinol acts as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent against certain fungi and bacteria.

For topical use only. Should not be used on large body surface areas, under occlusion for extended periods, or on broken skin for prolonged durations due to risk of systemic corticosteroid absorption. Not typically used on the face unless specifically directed by a physician.
