Instructions for Clotrimazole ointment 20 gr
Targeted Antifungal Care for Healthy Skin
Clotrimazole 1% Ointment is a reliable topical antifungal product designed to support the management of common fungal skin infections. This formulation provides focused care directly at the affected area, helping relieve discomfort while supporting the skin’s natural recovery process. The ointment base creates a protective layer on the skin, allowing the active ingredient to work gradually and effectively over time.
With a long history of global use, clotrimazole is recognized for its broad antifungal activity and skin-friendly profile. The 20 g tube offers a practical size for both short-term treatment and continued use when needed.
How Clotrimazole Works
Clotrimazole works by interfering with the structure of fungal cell membranes. Fungi rely on specific components to maintain their cell integrity and ability to grow. By disrupting this process, clotrimazole helps limit fungal growth and supports the elimination of the infection from the skin’s surface.
Unlike treatments that only mask symptoms, clotrimazole targets the underlying cause of fungal infections. The ointment formulation allows prolonged contact with the skin, which may be particularly helpful for dry, rough, or thickened areas that require longer-lasting coverage.
