Mometasone works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Nadifloxacin is an antibiotic that works by interfering with a bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria. Thereby, it kills bacteria and clears the infection. Terbinafine is an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival. They prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, it kills fungi.
