Clotilix-M Cream

Clotilix-M Cream is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat fungal skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, nasal polyps (painless growth on the lining of the nose or sinuses) and dermatoses (lesions or eruptions of the skin). Fungal skin infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.

Clotilix-M Cream is composed of two medicines: Mometasone and Clotrimazole. Mometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Mometasone effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. On the other hand, Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that treats fungal infections, such as athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Clotilix-M Cream is for topical (for skin) use only. Clotilix-M Cream has common side effects like itching, dryness, redness and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Clotilix-M Cream. Let your doctor know if you have any other skin disorders or illnesses before starting Clotilix-M Cream. Do not use Clotilix-M Cream on sensitive areas like nostrils, ears, lips or genitals if the doctor did not advise you. Clotilix-M Cream is not recommended for diaper rash. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Clotilix-M Cream.

Avoid contact of topical Clotilix-M Cream with nose, mouth or eyes as it may irritate. In case Clotilix-M Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Topical use of corticosteroids (Mometasone) sometimes causes systemic immunosuppression (decreased ability to fight infections) while treating infections. This condition worsens the infections, hence Clotilix-M Cream should be used with caution in patients with active infections. Do not use Clotilix-M Cream for treating diaper rash. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Clotilix-M Cream.

It is advised to reach out to your doctor if the skin infection symptoms persist or worsen after two weeks of treatment.
