Clotrimazole Cream 1% Uses
Clotrimazole Cream 1% is indicated for:
- Fungal infections of the skin: Including athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), and jock itch (tinea cruris).
- Yeast infections: Treats cutaneous candidiasis caused by Candida species.
- Pityriasis (Tinea) versicolor: Reduces discoloration and itching caused by fungal infections of the skin.
How Does Clotrimazole Cream 1% Work
Clotrimazole belongs to the azole class of antifungals. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the fungal cells become weak and leaky, eventually leading to their death. This action eliminates the infection and helps prevent its recurrence.
How to Use Clotrimazole Cream 1%
- Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.
- Apply a thin layer of Clotrimazole Cream to the affected area and surrounding skin twice daily (morning and night) or as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Gently rub the cream into the skin.
- Continue using the cream for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the fungus.
Side Effects
Clotrimazole Cream 1% is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience:
- Mild skin irritation, redness, or itching
- Burning or stinging sensation at the application site
- Peeling or flaking of the treated skin If severe reactions occur or symptoms persist, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
Drug Interactions
Since Clotrimazole Cream is a topical medication with minimal systemic absorption, drug interactions are rare. However, inform your healthcare provider about all medications and skincare products you are using to avoid potential incompatibilities.
