Medicine Description kenacomb 15 GM
Kenacomb 15 GM Ointment is a medication that combines the effects of antibiotics, antifungals, and a corticosteroid to provide comprehensive treatment for various skin conditions. Gramicidin and neomycin exert antibacterial effects by disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis and inhibiting protein synthesis, respectively. Nystatin works by binding to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, leading to increased permeability and cell death. Triamcinolone, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation and suppresses the immune response, alleviating symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching. Together, these active ingredients target both the infection and the inflammatory response, promoting faster healing and symptom relief.
