About 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.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Mosol-C Cream 20 gm. Let your doctor know if you have any other skin disorders or illnesses before starting Mosol-C Cream 20 gm. Do not use Mosol-C Cream 20 gm on sensitive areas like nostrils, ears, lips or genitals if the doctor did not advise you.
