How it works
Clomic M Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Miconazole. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
