Medicinal Benefits

Metafine 10Gm Cream is used to treat fungal skin infections, such as eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, dermatitis, and tinea versicolor. Metafine 10Gm Cream is composed of Mometasone (corticosteroid) and Terbinafine (antifungal). Mometasone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which causes the affected area to become red, swollen, and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. Terbinafine is an antifungal drug that treats fungal infections by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane (a compound present in the fungi to maintain cell integrity) and thus resulting in fungal cell death.
