About Motimesh Cream 15 gm
Motimesh Cream 15 gm belongs to the class of medicine called ‘potent corticosteroid’ used to reduce inflammation, redness, irritation and itchiness caused by certain skin problems and allergic symptoms of hay fever. An allergic condition is an immune system response to a foreign substance (allergens) that is not typically harmful to your body, including certain foods, pollen, or pet dander.
