How Eberfine M Cream works
Eberfine M Cream is a combination of two medicines: Eberconazole and Mometasone which treat fungal skin infections. Eberconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Mometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
