Flucort-N Cream

Product Overview

Flucort-N Cream is a topical medication designed to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and allergic reactions. This dual-action formulation combines the anti-inflammatory steroid Fluocinolone Acetonide with the antibiotic Neomycin Sulfate to effectively reduce itching, swelling, and redness while preventing bacterial infections. The cream is applied directly to affected skin areas for targeted relief and faster healing. Available in different strengths, it’s approved for use in adults and children above two years of age.
