About FM Derma Ointment

FM Derma Ointment contains Fluticasone propionate and mupirocin. FM Derma Ointment is used in the treatment of skin infections. Fluticasone topical is used to reduce inflammation and relieve itching, redness, dryness and scaling associated with various skin conditions, whereas mupirocin kills bacteria by destroying the bacterial cell membrane.
