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

Medicinal Benefits

Tendrone 1% Cream contains Hydrocortisone, a steroid that is used to treat swelling, irritation, itching and redness, caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema. Tendrone 1% Cream acts inside the 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 type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
