Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole

Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat fungal skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, nasal polyps (painless growth on the lining of the nose or sinuses), and dermatoses (lesions or eruptions of the skin). Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. 

Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole is composed of two medicines: Mometasone furoate (corticosteroid) and Clotrimazole (antifungal). Mometasone furoate belongs to the class of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. On the other hand, Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that treats fungal infections, such as vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush, athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. 

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole is for topical (for skin) use only. It has common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, please reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole or other medications. Do not use Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole on sensitive areas like nostrils, ears, lips or genitals. Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole is not recommended for diaper rash. Inform your doctor in advance if you have chickenpox or measles, active infections, liver failure, and kidney problems. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult the doctor before starting Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole. Mometasone Furoate+clotrimazole is not recommended for children below two years of age.
