Lotricort 15gm Cream

Lotricort 15gm Cream is a topical antifungal medication formulated to treat various fungal infections of the skin. It contains Clotrimazole as its active ingredient, which belongs to the class of azole antifungals. Clotrimazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, thereby eliminating the infection and relieving associated symptoms such as itching, redness, and irritation.

Uses:

Lotricort 15gm Cream is used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), ringworm (tinea corporis), and yeast infections (cutaneous candidiasis). It effectively kills the fungus causing the infection and provides relief from symptoms including itching, burning, and inflammation. This cream can be applied topically to the affected area(s) of the skin as directed by a healthcare professional.

Directions for Use:

Apply a thin layer of Lotricort Cream to the affected area(s) of the skin and surrounding area(s), and gently rub it in until absorbed. Wash your hands thoroughly after application, unless the hands are the affected area. Use the cream as directed by your doctor, usually 2-3 times daily for the prescribed duration of treatment. It is important to continue using the cream for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is completely eradicated.

Precautions:

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. If the cream accidentally gets into these areas, rinse with plenty of water.
• Do not use Lotricort Cream on broken or damaged skin unless directed by a healthcare professional.
• If irritation or sensitization occurs, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store the cream at room temperature away from heat and moisture.
