Mometasone+nadifloxacin+terbinafine

About

Mometasone+nadifloxacin+terbinafine belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives with Corticosteroids’ used to treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Also, Mometasone+nadifloxacin+terbinafine helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Mometasone+nadifloxacin+terbinafine is a combination of three drugs, namely: Mometasone (corticosteroid), Nadifloxacin (antibiotic), and Terbinafine (antifungal). Mometasone 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. Nadifloxacin works by interfering with a bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating bacteria's DNA (genetic material). Thereby, it kills bacteria and clears the infection. 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. Terbinafine works by damaging the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi.

Use Mometasone+nadifloxacin+terbinafine as prescribed by your doctor. Mometasone+nadifloxacin+terbinafine is only for external use. You are advised to use Mometasone+nadifloxacin+terbinafine for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.  Some people may experience skin peeling, dry skin, itching, redness, irritation, or burning sensation at the application site.

Nadifloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It works by interfering with a bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating bacteria's DNA (genetic material). Thereby, it kills bacteria and clears the infection. Terbinafine is an antifungal that damages the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival. They prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents.  Thereby, it kills fungi.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Fungal infection: It is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). The symptoms of a fungal infection include scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation, and redness. Antifungal medicines are usually used to treat fungal infections.

Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any part of the body and multiple very quickly. Bacteria come in three basic shapes, namely spherical, rod, or spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell walls) or gram-negative (do not have cell walls).
