About MICONAZOLE+MOMETASONE FUROATE
MICONAZOLE+MOMETASONE FUROATE is a topical medication that combines an antifungal agent and a corticosteroid. This unique combination allows us to target fungal infections and Inflammatory Skin Conditions. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the skin tissue and causes infection. Inflammatory skin conditions are skin problems that cause redness, itchiness, and swelling.

Miconazole causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi, helping to treat fungal infections.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
To prevent fungal infections and skin inflammation, make the following simple changes to your everyday routine:
Hygiene:
Please keep it clean and dry: Fungi thrive in moist environments. Wash your body daily with lukewarm water and a gentle soap. Pay particular attention to areas prone to moisture, like groin, armpits, and between toes.
Dry thoroughly: After showering or bathing, towel yourself dry completely, especially between skin folds. Consider letting affected areas air dry for a few minutes before wearing clothes.
Clean clothes and towels: Change out of sweaty clothes after exercise or activity. Wash clothes and towels regularly with hot water and detergent. Don't share towels or clothes with others.
Clothing:
Breathable fabrics: Choose loose-fitting cotton clothing that allows your skin to breathe. Tight-fitting clothes can trap moisture and create a breeding ground for fungus.
Foot care: Wear breathable shoes and change socks daily, especially if your feet tend to sweat. Avoid wearing closed-toe shoes for extended periods.
Diet:
Balanced diet: Maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can boost your immune system, better equipping it to fight infections.
Limit sugar: Excessive sugar intake can contribute to fungal growth. Consider limiting sugary drinks and processed foods.
Other tips:
Maintain good hygiene in public places: Wear sandals in public showers or locker rooms. Avoid sharing personal items like razors or combs.
Manage stress: Chronic stress can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation.
Don't scratch: Scratching itchy skin can break the skin barrier, worsen inflammation, or lead to a secondary infection.
Special Advise
If you experience persistent itching, redness, or burning, consult a doctor for a diagnosis and proper treatment. They can recommend the most appropriate antifungal medication or cream for your condition.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Fungal infections: It is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Fungal infection symptoms include scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation, and redness. Antifungal medicines are usually used to treat fungal infections. Avoid sharing things to prevent the spread of infection. Keep the affected area clean and dry, wear flip-flops or sandals in locker rooms and avoid tight-fitting shoes or clothes to prevent fungal infections.
Inflammatory skin conditions: Inflammatory skin conditions are problems that cause redness, itchiness, and swelling. They occur when the body's immune system goes into overdrive and attacks healthy skin cells. There are many different inflammatory skin conditions, each with its own cause and symptoms. Some common ones include Eczema, Psoriasis, Hives, Rosacea, and Seborrheic dermatitis.
