About Exel M Skin Cream 16 gm

Exel M Skin Cream 16 gm is a dermatological combination medication used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain fungal skin infections. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the skin tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

Exel M Skin Cream 16 gm contains Clobetasol (corticosteroid) and Miconazole (antifungal). Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. On the other hand, Miconazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi.

Exel M Skin Cream 16 gm is only for external use. Use Exel M Skin Cream 16 gm as advised by the doctor. Avoid contact of Exel M Skin Cream 16 gm with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Exel M Skin Cream 16 gm comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.

If you are known to be allergic to Exel M Skin Cream 16 gm or any other medicines, please tell your doctor.
