Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Medicinal Benefits

Fourderm RF Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections, skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants, eczema, psoriasis, insect bites and stings. Fourderm RF Cream contains Clotrimazole (antifungal), Neomycin (antibiotic) and Beclomethasone dipropionate (steroid). Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Beclomethasone dipropionate blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Together, Fourderm RF Cream helps treat skin infections.
