Product Overview

Clotrimazole IP 1% w/w is a topical antifungal formulation developed for the management of superficial fungal infections of the skin. It helps inhibit fungal growth and supports the treatment of common infections affecting areas such as the feet, groin, and other skin folds.

Clotrimazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungal medicines. It works by interfering with the formation of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This weakens and disrupts the fungal membrane, helping inhibit the growth and survival of susceptible fungi.

The powder formulation is particularly convenient for areas prone to moisture and sweating, helping keep the affected skin dry while delivering antifungal activity. Consistent use as directed can help manage fungal infection symptoms such as itching, redness, scaling, and discomfort.
