Same salt, different brands:

Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - BECLOMETASONE-0.025%W/W + CLOTRIMAZOLE-1%W/W + GENTAMICIN-0.1%W/W, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.

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

Skin infections (dermatitis, impetigo, eczema, psoriasis, diaper rash, lichen simplex, bug bites, burns, boils, otitis externa and dermatoses). 

Medicinal Benefits

Derbact Cream is used to treat skin infections, such as dermatitis, impetigo, eczema, psoriasis, diaper rash, lichen simplex, bug bites, burns, boils, otitis externa and dermatoses. It is composed of Clotrimazole, Gentamicin, and Beclometasone. Clotrimazole is an antifungal drug that stops fungi's growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It kills bacteria by disrupting its ability to produce essential proteins for its growth. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis.
