About Ceflox Cf Cream

Ceflox Cf Cream is primarily used to treat skin bacterial infection. It is also helpful in subsidizing associated symptoms like swelling, redness and infection caused due to infection. It kills the bacteria by preventing the growth of its cell membrane and thus preventing its spread.
