Nadoxin Plus Cream 10 gm

Nadoxin Plus Cream belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives with Corticosteroids’ used to treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Also, Nadoxin Plus Cream helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Nadoxin Plus Cream is a combination of three drugs, namely: Mometasone (corticosteroid), Nadifloxacin (antibiotic), and Terbinafine (antifungal). Mometasone works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Nadifloxacin works by interfering with a bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating bacteria's DNA (genetic material). Thereby, it kills bacteria and clears the infection. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Terbinafine works by damaging the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi.

Nadoxin Plus Cream contains Mometasone, Nadifloxacin and Terbinafine used to treat skin infections. Mometasone is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits releasing certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Nadifloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It works by interfering with a bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating bacteria's DNA (genetic material). Thereby, it kills bacteria and clears the infection. Terbinafine is an antifungal that damages the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival. They prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents.  Thereby, it kills fungi.
