EBERNET M CREAM

Uses and Benefits of EBERNET M CREAM (EBERCONAZOLE 1% W/W + MOMETASONE 0.1% W/W)

This medicine is used for fungal infections of the skin that also cause itching, redness, and inflammation.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch
• Skin infections where itching and redness are prominent along with fungal growth
• Short-term relief of associated inflammation while the antifungal clears the infection

HOW IT WORKS

• Eberconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungus by damaging its cell membrane
• Mometasone is a corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling, and itching caused by inflammation
• Together they treat the infection and relieve the uncomfortable symptoms faster than an antifungal alone

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Plain dry skin or eczema without any fungal infection
• Bacterial or viral skin infections
• Long-term daily use for general skin care
• Use on face, groin folds, or broken skin without doctor's advice

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use this on my face?

Only if your doctor specifically advises it, as facial skin is thin and more prone to side effects from steroids.

How long can I use this cream?

Use it only for the duration your doctor prescribes, usually a short course, since prolonged steroid use can thin the skin.

Can I stop using it once itching goes away?

• No, complete the full course advised by your doctor even if symptoms improve, otherwise the infection may return.
• Doctor ya pharmacist se salah lein.
