How it works
Emcort CF Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clotrimazole, Fusidic Acid, and Mometasone. Clotrimazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by inhibiting synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Mometasone is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.
