Bestopic N Cream

Bestopic N Cream is a topical medication used for the treatment of various skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, and allergic reactions.

How Bestopic N Cream Works

Bestopic N Cream combines hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, and diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that helps alleviate itching and irritation. The corticosteroid works by suppressing the immune response that leads to inflammation, while the antihistamine helps to block the release of histamine, reducing itching and discomfort.

• Non-systemic, meaning it works locally on the skin with minimal side effects.
