About Cortwell-MC Cream
Cortwell-MC Cream is used to treat fungal skin infections such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy red patches covered with white scales), and dermatoses (lesions or eruptions of the skin).
Cortwell-MC Cream is composed of Mometasone furoate and Clotrimazole. Mometasone furoate blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by damaging and leaking the fungal cell membrane.
Cortwell-MC Cream has common side effects, such as itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, please reach out to your doctor.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before starting Cortwell-MC Cream. Cortwell-MC Cream is not recommended for children below two years of age.
