Easydic M Cream consists of two medicines: Mometasone (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Mometasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It is used to treat inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin), psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches), allergies and rash. On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin) and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).
