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

Paxbro Cream is used in the treatment of Fungal nail and skin infections. The detailed uses of Paxbro Cream are as follows:

  • Treats ringworm (Tinea corporis): Paxbro Cream helps eliminate fungal infections on the body.
  • Controls jock itch (Tinea cruris) : Paxbro Cream relieves itching and irritation in groin areas.

Medicinal Benefits

Paxbro Cream is an antifungal that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of nails and skin such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discolored patches on chest, back, legs and arms). It works by stopping the production of a chemical called 'ergosterol' in fungi that causes fungal infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, infection-causing fungi die. At the same time, Phenoxyethanol acts as a preservative.
