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.

Ornidazole is also an antibiotic which kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA.
