Does Eberfine cream have steroids in it, and is it actually good for treating ringworm?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Eberfine cream contains Eberconazole (1% ww) and Mometasone (0.1% ww), which means it does contain a steroid, specifically Mometasone, a moderate-strength topical corticosteroid.
As for its effectiveness in treating ringworm, the combination of Eberconazole (an antifungal) and Mometasone (a steroid) can help alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and inflammation, while also treating the underlying fungal infection.

I've been taking BTN ultra tablets to help control my grey hair since my doctor first recommended them back in 2016. I used them pretty regularly at that time, and then again on and off in 2017 and 2018, and I didn't notice any negative effects. My doctor mentioned that if I want to continue using these tablets, it's best to do it randomly, like using them for a couple of weeks and then taking a break. So, I'm wondering if its safe to keep using BTN ultra in this random way in the future. Also, is there any risk of side effects from using biotin mineral tablets long-term, even if its not continuous? I'd really appreciate your guidance on this!
