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

Tafgm Cream is a combination of three drugs: Betamethasone, Gentamicin, and Miconazole. Tafgm Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. Also, Tafgm Cream helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by specific skin problems. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that acts 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 allergens, these chemicals are usually released. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that causes bacteria to produce faulty and abnormal proteins. Thus, it kills the bacteria and clears the infection. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi.
