Met F Cream Substitute

Met F Cream consists of Mometasone and Fusidic acid. Mometasone, a corticosteroid, works by blocking prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Met F Cream is for topical (for skin) use only. Do not put bandage or dressing on the affected area while treating with Met F Cream unless the doctor advised. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or vagina, rinse with cold water. Do not apply Met F Cream on open wounds, lesions and blisters.

Please consult your doctor before using Met F Cream if you have other viral/fungal skin infections, diaper rash, diabetes, Cushing's disease (high cortisol levels), cataract and glaucoma, heart, liver and kidney diseases. Let your doctor know if your allergic to Met F Cream or any of its components.

No, Met F Cream is not recommended to use for diaper rash, since Mometasone in Met F Cream can be systemically absorbed and cause adrenal suppression, Cushing's syndrome and intracranial hypertension (pressure of the fluid that surrounds the brain). Your baby's paediatrician may suggest other medications for the treatment of diaper rash.

Met F Cream, when used for longer periods, can cause thinning and weakening of the skin. Please stop using Met F Cream and immediately consult your doctor if you notice these symptoms.
