Same salt, different brands:

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

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.

Medicinal Benefits

HHDERM Cream is composed of Clotrimazole, Fusidic acid, and Mometasone. Clotrimazole is an antifungal drug that stops fungi growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Fusidic acid is an antibacterial/antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Mometasone is a corticosteroid and blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness.
