How it works
Afserta-B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Sertaconazole and Beclometasone, which treats skin infections. Sertaconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.

You have been prescribed Afserta-B Cream for the treatment of fungal skin infections. It is for use on skin only. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects. If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Afserta-B Cream and consult your doctor.
