Mosol-C Cream 20 gm

Mosol-C Cream 20 gm is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat fungal skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, nasal polyps (painless growth on the lining of the nose or sinuses) and dermatoses (lesions or eruptions of the skin). Fungal skin infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.

Mosol-C Cream 20 gm is composed of two medicines: Mometasone and Clotrimazole. Mometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Mometasone effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. On the other hand, Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that treats fungal infections, such as athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose for your infection. Mosol-C Cream 20 gm is for topical (skin) use only. It has common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Avoid contact of Mosol-C Cream 20 gm with nose, mouth or eyes as it may irritate. In case Mosol-C Cream 20 gm comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Topical use of corticosteroids (Mometasone) sometimes causes systemic immunosuppression (decreased ability to fight infections) while treating infections. This condition worsens the infections; hence, Mosol-C Cream 20 gm should be used with caution in patients with active infections. Do not use Mosol-C Cream 20 gm to treat diaper rash.
