CITRONEEM CREAM - MOSQUITO REPELLANT CREAM by Cadila Pharmaceuticals (Chezgreen)

Introduction:

Mosquito repellents help prevent and control the outbreak of insect-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and chikungunya.

CITRONEEM Cream is a pure herbal mosquito repellent cream containing powerful ancient herbs like Neem and Citronella. Unlike many conventional mosquito repellents, CITRONEEM does not contain synthetic or potentially toxic ingredients, making it suitable for people sensitive to traditional repellents.
