Mometasone is a corticosteroid, it binds to specific receptors in skin cells, suppressing the production of inflammatory chemicals known as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This results in reduced skin inflammation, redness, and itching.
Terbinafine is an allylamine antifungal that inhibits the enzyme squalene epoxidase which is crucial for forming ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. By depleting ergosterol, it disrupts the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell death and clearance of the infection.
