Clotrimazole

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat skin infections, such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and yeast infections. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, effectively stopping the infection. Clotrimazole is available in various forms, including creams, lotions, and lozenges. For skin conditions, it is applied directly to the affected area, while for oral or vaginal infections, it can be taken as a tablet or inserted as a suppository. Generally well-tolerated, it may cause minor irritation in some individuals. Always follow the guidance of a healthcare provider when using medications like clotrimazole.
