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

Oxinext Cream belongs to a class of drugs known as 'antifungals', containing Oxiconazole, primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin like dry and flaky skin, thrush, dhobie itch, ringworm, jock itch and athlete's foot. It works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Fungal cell membranes are essential for fungus survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby it clears the fungal infection.
