About Mupicost-F Cream

Mupicost-F Cream belongs to the class 'Topical antibacterial and corticosteroids', which are primarily used in the treatment of skin infections. A skin infection can be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites. Symptoms include itching, inflamed skin (swollen, hot, red), blistered skin, pus formation fever, and feeling unwell and tired.

Mupicost-F Cream is a combination of fluticasone and mupirocin. Fluticasone is a steroid medicine. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Mupirocin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by destroying the bacterial cell membrane. Mupicost-F Cream together improves the skin condition effectively.
