How it works
Zinsto Cream is a combination of two medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide and Miconazole, which treats skin infections. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.Zinsto Cream is a combination of two medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide and Miconazole, which treats skin infections.
