Same salt, different brands:

Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

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

TRIBEN CN 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: TRIBEN CN 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.

TRIBEN CN CREAM is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. It also helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by certain skin problems.
TRIBEN CN 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.
Yes, TRIBEN CN CREAM may cause skin itching at the site of application as a temporary side effect. However, if the itching persists or worsens, please consult a doctor.
You are recommended to cover the treated area of skin with bandages or dressings only if advised by your doctor else it may increase the risk of side effects.

Yes, fungal infection is a contagious skin condition which spreads from one person to another through direct skin to skin contact or by contact with contaminated soil or surfaces and infected animals. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid close direct contact until the infection is clear and avoid sharing things with the infected person as it can also spread the infection.
TRIBEN CN CREAM is not recommended for use in children unless advised by a doctor. Children's skin is more delicate and can absorb larger amounts of TRIBEN CN CREAM, increasing the risk of side effects. Additionally, the steroids in this medicine may affect a child's growth. Therefore, always consult a doctor before using TRIBEN CN CREAM or other medicines for children.
No, TRIBEN CN CREAM should not be used on burns or any damaged skin. Do not self-medicate.
