Clotrimazole + Fusidic Acid + Mometasone is a combination medicine that includes an antifungal, an antibiotic, and a corticosteroid.
Clotrimazole, the antifungal ingredient, inhibits the production of a fungal cell membrane component called ergosterol. This causes increased cell instability, leading to leakage of cell contents and finally cell death.
Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic component that prevents bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis, specifically by blocking the translocation step in the bacterial ribosome.
Mometasone is a potent corticosteroid. It works by suppressing the immune response, reducing inflammation and itchiness. It achieves this by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and decreasing the movement of immune cells to the site of inflammation.
