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

Metafine Cream must be applied to the affected area as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Before each application, wash the affected area with soap and water and dry well. Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Stop using Metafine Cream and inform your doctor if you notice any irritation or any other skin infection. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 2-6 weeks of treatment. It is advisable not to touch or scratch the infected area as it can worsen the situation.
