Cortent-M Cream

Cortent-M Cream is a combination cream used to treat various skin infections and inflammations. It contains Clobetasol, a powerful corticosteroid that helps reduce swelling, redness, and itching, and Miconazole, an antifungal agent that kills fungus responsible for skin infections. This cream is commonly prescribed for conditions like athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and other fungal infections with symptoms of inflammation. It provides fast relief and helps prevent the infection from spreading further.
