BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE

BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat fungal infections, such as ringworm, jock itch (red and itchy rash in warm and moist areas of the body), athlete’s foot (fungal infections between toes). Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.  Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and scaling of the skin. 

BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE is composed of two medicines: Betamethasone (steroid) and clotrimazole (antifungal). Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal infections, such as vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush, and ringworm. Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. It is also used to treat athlete’s foot and jock itch. Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids, which block prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy.

You are advised to use BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site, thinning of the skin, skin peeling. Most of these side effects of BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE or any other medications. Do not put dressing or bandage on the affected area since it increases the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor if you have other skin infections and liver disease. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE. If nursing mothers apply BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE to their breasts for treatment, it is advised to wash the affected area thoroughly before breastfeeding the baby. BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE is not recommended for children below 17 years of age. BETAMETHASONE+CLOTRIMAZOLE has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive or use machines.
