MOMESONE T CREAM 10 GM

How MOMESONE T CREAM 10 GM Works

• MOMESONE T Cream 10 GM is a combination medication containing mometasone furoate and terbinafine hydrochloride. Mometasone furoate is a corticosteroid, while terbinafine hydrochloride is an antifungal. This combination is designed to treat fungal infections of the skin that are accompanied by inflammation, itching, and redness.
• Mometasone furoate works by reducing inflammation in the skin. It is a potent corticosteroid that inhibits the release of inflammatory substances in the body. When applied topically, it reduces swelling, redness, and itching associated with various skin conditions. Specifically, it binds to receptors inside cells and influences the production of proteins that control inflammation. By suppressing the immune response in the skin, mometasone helps to alleviate the symptoms of inflammation, providing relief from discomfort.
• Terbinafine hydrochloride, on the other hand, is an allylamine antifungal. It works by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. Terbinafine inhibits squalene epoxidase, an enzyme necessary for ergosterol production. This disruption weakens the fungal cell membrane, leading to fungal cell death. Terbinafine is effective against a wide range of fungi, including dermatophytes, which are common causes of skin infections like athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. By targeting the fungal cell directly, terbinafine helps to eradicate the infection.
• When MOMESONE T Cream is applied, mometasone reduces the inflammation caused by the infection, while terbinafine targets and kills the fungus. This dual action helps to alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling, while also addressing the underlying cause of the infection. The cream should be applied thinly to the affected area as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to use the medication for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the fungal infection and prevent recurrence.
• The synergistic effect of mometasone and terbinafine makes MOMESONE T Cream an effective treatment for fungal infections complicated by inflammation. The corticosteroid reduces the discomfort and visible signs of inflammation, while the antifungal eliminates the infection. This combination provides comprehensive relief and promotes healing of the affected skin.
