Elica-M Cream 15g: Relief for Inflammatory and Fungal Skin Conditions
Elica-M Cream is a specialized topical treatment designed for skin conditions that involve both inflammation and fungal infection. It is a potent combination therapy widely used in Nigeria for managing stubborn skin issues like eczema and dermatitis.
Dual-Action Formula
Elica-M contains two active ingredients that work together for fast and effective relief:
- Mometasone Furoate (0.1%): A high-potency corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling, and intense itching (pruritus).
- Miconazole Nitrate (2.0%): A broad-spectrum antifungal agent that kills the fungi and yeasts responsible for the infection.
What is Elica-M Used For?
This cream is typically prescribed for:
- Eczema and Dermatitis: When the affected area becomes infected with fungi.
- Psoriasis: To manage inflammation and associated fungal complications.
- Fungal Infections with Inflammation: Such as ringworm or cutaneous candidiasis where the skin is very red and itchy.
How to Use Elica-M Cream

- Gently rub the cream into the skin until it disappears.
