Elica-M Cream 15g: Dual-Action Relief for Skin Infections
Elica-M Cream is a high-potency topical treatment used to manage skin conditions where both inflammation and fungal infection are present. It is widely used across Nigeria for stubborn skin issues that do not respond to simple antifungal creams.
How Elica-M Works
This cream combines two powerful active ingredients:
- Mometasone Furoate (0.1%): A potent corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling, and the "pepperish" itching sensation associated with skin irritation.
- Miconazole Nitrate (2.0%): A broad-spectrum antifungal that eliminates the fungi and yeasts causing the infection.
What is Elica-M Cream Used For?
Elica-M is primarily prescribed for:
- Infected Eczema & Dermatitis: When the skin is red, itchy, and has a secondary fungal growth.
- Psoriasis: To calm inflammation and manage fungal complications.
- Ringworm and Fungal Rashes: Especially when the area is very inflamed or painful.
- Local Skin Issues: Often used for conditions locally referred to as "toilet infections" when they affect the skin.
Directions for Use
Clean and dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin layer of Elica-M Cream once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare professional. Gently massage the cream until it is absorbed. Avoid using it for long periods without a doctor's advice, as it contains a strong steroid.
Safety and Precautions
- Do not use on the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically instructed by a specialist.
- Avoid use on broken skin or large areas of the body.
- If you experience severe irritation or a persistent burning sensation, stop use immediately.
