About Novaderm Cream

Novaderm Cream is used to treat bacterial skin infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

On the other hand, Neomycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial and fungal infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
