Mometasone + Terbinafine

Uses of Mometasone + Terbinafine

  • Mometasone + Terbinafine is primarily used for managing fungal skin infections like ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch. It belongs to the class of medications known as corticosteroids and antifungal agents.

Side effects of Mometasone + Terbinafine

  • Burning sensation at the application site

  • Stinging sensation

  • Skin irritation

  • Redness

  • Dryness of the skin

How Mometasone + Terbinafine works

  • 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.
