Clop-M Cream

Clop-M Cream is a topical medication used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including fungal infections and inflammatory skin disorders. It combines clotrimazole (an antifungal agent) and mometasone furoate (a potent corticosteroid). Clotrimazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, while mometasone reduces inflammation, redness, and swelling. This combination provides effective relief from conditions such as fungal infections, eczema, and dermatitis.

Uses of Clop-M Cream

• Relieves inflammation and itching caused by eczema and dermatitis.

How Clop-M Cream Works

Clop-M Cream combines clotrimazole and mometasone furoate. Clotrimazole works by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, preventing their growth and spread. Mometasone furoate, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation, redness, and itching by suppressing the immune response in the skin. Together, they provide quick and effective relief from both fungal infections and inflammatory skin conditions.
