About Monpic-B Cream
Monpic-B Cream is used to treat fungal infections, such as ringworm of the foot (tinea pedis or athlete's foot), ringworm of the groin (tinea cruris or jock itch), and ringworm of the body (tinea corporis).
Monpic-B Cream contains Clotrimazole and Beclometasone. Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by damaging the fungal cell membrane. Beclometasone blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.
Monpic-B Cream may cause common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects do not need medical attention and resolve over time. However, consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Do not use Monpic-B Cream if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health conditions and medications to prevent any interactions.
