Q. Is Dipsid Cream an antifungal or a steroid? What is it used for?
Dipsid Cream is neither an antifungal nor a steroid. It is an antibiotic that is effective against bacteria.

Q. What precautions should I take while applying Dipsid Cream?
Dipsid Cream is meant to be applied only on the skin. Always wash your hands before applying the medicine. Unless you are using the cream to treat your hands, always wash your hands after using Dipsid Cream. Do not insert it into your body or swallow it.
