Elica-M Cream 15g: Dual-Action Relief for Stubborn Skin Infections

Elica-M Cream is a highly effective topical treatment used across Nigeria for skin conditions where inflammation and fungal infection occur together. If you are dealing with a rash that is red, itchy, and seems persistent, Elica-M provides a dual-action formula to clear the infection and soothe the skin.

How Elica-M Works

Elica-M combines two essential active ingredients:

• Mometasone Furoate (0.1%): A potent corticosteroid that rapidly reduces swelling, redness, and that uncomfortable "pepperish" itching sensation.
• Miconazole Nitrate (2.0%): A proven antifungal agent that targets the root cause of the infection, including yeasts and dermatophytes.

Common Uses in Nigeria

In Nigeria, Elica-M is frequently used for:

• Infected Eczema & Dermatitis: Especially when the skin has become broken and infected.
• Fungal Rashes: Including conditions often locally referred to as "toilet infections" when they affect the skin surface.
• Ringworm (Tinea): Particularly for inflamed ringworm that is very painful or itchy.
• Psoriasis: To manage flare-ups that have a fungal component.

What to Expect: Before and After

When using Elica-M, many users notice a significant reduction in itching and redness within the first few applications. Before treatment, the skin may be crusty, scaly, or intensely itchy. After consistent use as prescribed, the inflammation should subside, and the fungal growth is eliminated, allowing the skin to heal.

Directions for Application

Clean the affected area and pat it dry. Apply a thin layer of Elica-M Cream once or twice daily. Gently massage it into the skin. Do not use this cream for longer than advised by your doctor, as it contains a strong steroid.

Safety Precautions

• Not for Acne: Avoid using Elica-M on the face for pimples or acne. It can cause skin thinning.
• External Use Only: Do not use inside the mouth, nose, or vagina.
• Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a GoMed pharmacist before use.

If your skin condition does not improve or if you experience a severe burning sensation, stop use and chat with a GoMed pharmacist for an alternative recommendation.
