Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Fungikind GM Cream is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions that are complicated by fungal or bacterial infections, helping to control infection while reducing redness, swelling, and itching:

  • Inflamed skin infections: Fungikind GM Cream helps clear skin infections that are complicated by redness, swelling, and intense itching by killing the underlying fungi and bacteria while calming skin irritation.
  • Eczema with secondary infections: Helps relieve inflammation, itching, and infection in eczema with bacterial or fungal complications. However, this combination contains clobetasol, a very potent corticosteroid, so it should only be used for short durations and strictly under medical supervision to avoid skin thinning, rebound flare-ups, and other steroid-related side effects.
  • Severe ringworm or athlete's foot: It targets stubborn fungal infections while rapidly reducing the painful burning, scaling, and inflammation associated with them.

Fungikind GM Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. It also helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by certain skin problems.
Fungikind GM Cream contains Clobetasol, Clotrimazole and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Clotrimazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, destroys bacteria.
