How Haloviv M Cream Works
Haloviv M is a combination of two medicines: Halobetasol and Miconazole which treat fungal skin infections. Halobetasol 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 by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
