Clotrin Cream 15gm contains clotrimazole (1%). This active ingredient works on the body as follows:

• Inhibits Ergosterol Synthesis: Clotrimazole blocks the production of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes.

• Causes Fungal Cell Death: By inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, clotrimazole increases the permeability of the fungal cell membrane, leading to leakage of essential cell components and ultimately causing cell death.

• Broad-Spectrum Antifungal Activity: Clotrimazole has fungistatic and fungicidal activity against a wide range of fungal species, including dermatophytes, yeasts, and Malassezia species.

• Store Clotrin Cream 15gm at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep this medication in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not freeze it.

• Always store this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Wash and dry the areas where you apply Clotrin Cream 15gm regularly to keep the skin clean and reduce the chances of further infection.

• Wear breathable fabrics like cotton to help reduce sweat, as damp environments can encourage fungal growth.
