LT-Mac Cream

Introduction

LT-Mac Cream is a topical medication used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and fungal infections. This cream contains a combination of active ingredients, which include Clotrimazole, an antifungal agent, and Betamethasone, a corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching caused by skin irritations, while also fighting fungal infections. LT-Mac Cream is typically prescribed for short-term use to manage these conditions and provide relief from discomfort.

How LT-Mac Cream Works

LT-Mac Cream contains a combination of Clotrimazole, an antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of fungi, and Betamethasone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching.
