How it Works

Halostrol-F Cream is a combination of two medicines: Halometasone and Fusidic Acid which treat skin infections. Halometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
