How it Works
Nadoxin Plus Cream is a combination of three medicines: Mometasone, Nadifloxacin and Terbinafine which treat skin infections. Mometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Nadifloxacin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria while Terbinafine is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi that cause skin infections.
