Mometasone+nadifloxacin
About Mometasone+nadifloxacin
Mometasone+nadifloxacin belongs to a class of dermatological medication used to treat inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial and fungal infections. Inflammatory skin conditions are skin problems that cause redness, itchiness, and swelling. Bacterial infection is when harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the skin tissue and causes infection.
Mometasone+nadifloxacin is a combination of two drugs, namely, Mometasone Furoate and Nadifloxacin. Mometasone is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling caused by bacterial and fungal infections. Nadifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by interfering with a bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating bacteria's DNA (genetic mater al). Thereby, it kills bacteria and clears the infection.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
To prevent infections and skin inflammation, make the following simple changes to your everyday routine:
- Please keep it clean and dry: Fungi thrive in moist environments. Wash your body daily with lukewarm water and a gentle soap. Pay particular attention to areas prone to moisture, like groin, armpits, and between toes.
- Dry thoroughly: After showering or bathing, towel yourself dry completely, especially between skin folds. Consider letting affected areas air dry for a few minutes before wearing clothes.
- Clean clothes and towels: Change out of sweaty clothes after exercise or activity. Wash clothes and towels regularly with hot water and detergent. Don't share towels or clothes with others.
- Maintain good hygiene in public places: Wear sandals in public showers or locker rooms. Avoid sharing personal items like razors or combs.
- Manage stress: Chronic stress can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation.
- Don't scratch: Scratching itchy skin can break the skin barrier, worsen inflammation, or lead to a secondary infection.
- Breathable fabrics: Choose loose-fitting cotton clothing that allows your skin to breathe. Tight-fitting clothes can trap moisture and create a breeding ground for fungus.
- Foot care: Wear breathable shoes and change socks daily, especially if your feet tend to sweat. Avoid wearing closed-toe shoes for extended periods.
- Balanced diet: Maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can boost your immune system, better equipping it to fight infections.
- Limit sugar: Excessive sugar intake can contribute to fungal growth. Consider limiting sugary drinks and processed foods.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Inflammatory skin conditions: Inflammatory skin conditions are problems that cause redness, itchiness, and swelling. They occur when the body's immune system goes into overdrive and attacks healthy skin cells. There are many different inflammatory skin conditions, each with its own cause and symptoms.
Fungal infections: It 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). The symptoms of a fungal infection include scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation, and redness. Antifungal medicines are usually used to treat fungal infections.
Bacterial infections: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any part of the body and multiple very quickly. Bacteria come in three basic shapes: spherical, rod-shaped, or spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell walls) or gram-negative (do not have cell walls). Appropriate tests are done to identify bacterial strains, and based on the results, proper medication is prescribed.
