Momate-F Cream

Product Introduction

Momate-F Cream is a topical medication used primarily for its anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-fungal properties. It combines two key active ingredients: mometasone furoate and fusidic acid. Mometasone furoate is a potent corticosteroid known for its efficacy in reducing inflammation and itching in various skin conditions. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic effective against a broad range of bacterial infections. This combination makes Momate-F Cream particularly useful in treating skin conditions that involve both inflammation and bacterial infections.

The cream is typically available in a 15g or 30g tube and is designed for external use only. It is usually prescribed by healthcare professionals for various dermatological conditions and is applied directly to the affected areas of the skin.
