Medicine Description mycostatin-ointement 100000i
Mycostatin ointment is an antifungal cream used to treat fungal skin infections caused by various types of fungi. It is used to treat superficial fungal infections of the skin, such as oral infections and fungal skin infections such as ringworm, jock itch, tinea, and diaper rash. Mycostatin is also used to treat skin infections caused by Candida, the fungus that causes skin yeast infections.
Mycostatin ointment works by inhibiting fungal growth, as it affects the fungal cell wall and prevents its reproduction. The cream is applied to the affected area of the skin two to three times daily after cleaning and drying the area well.
