Clindamycin-Clotrimazole Cream 30gm Uses

This cream is primarily used to:

  • Treat mixed bacterial and fungal vaginal infections.
  • Relieve symptoms such as itching, burning, and abnormal vaginal discharge.
  • Restore the natural vaginal flora by targeting infection-causing organisms.

How Does Clindamycin-Clotrimazole Cream 30gm Work

  • Clindamycin: As an antibiotic, it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping bacterial growth and clearing the infection.
  • Clotrimazole: This antifungal agent disrupts the fungal cell membrane, killing the fungus and preventing its growth. Together, these ingredients provide dual-action relief from mixed infections.
