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

Medicinal Benefits

Scatner B Cream is a combination of two drugs, namely: Sertaconazole and Beclometasone used to treat fungal skin infections. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Sertaconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside 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 allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Together, they clear the fungal infection and provide relief from cracking, redness, swelling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
