About Candipraz-OC Cream 15 gm

Candipraz-OC Cream 15 gm belongs to a class of dermatological medication used to treat bacterial and fungal skin infections. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection.

Candipraz-OC Cream 15 gm contains Clobetasol propionate, Itraconazole, Ofloxacin and Ornidazole.
