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

Fungal skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, dermatitis, and tinea versicolor.

Medicinal Benefits

Sebifin Plus Cream is used to treat fungal skin infections, such as eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, dermatitis, and tinea versicolor. Sebifin Plus Cream is composed of Mometasone (corticosteroid) and Terbinafine (antifungal). Mometasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers), which makes the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. Terbinafine is an antifungal drug that treats fungal infections by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane (a compound present in the fungi to maintain cell integrity) and thus resulting in fungal cell death.
