FAQs

Megmazolegm Cream contains Chlorhexidine, Clobetasol, Miconazole and Neomycin. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic that kills the micro-organisms and prevents infection. Clobetasol 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. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, kills the bacteria and clears the infection.

About Megmazolegm Cream

Megmazolegm Cream belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives with Corticosteroids’ used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin infections caused by bacteria and fungus. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection.

Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Miconazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi.
