Clotrimazole + Beclomethasone Dipropionate Lotion is also used to treat fungal infections like athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm of the body (tinea corporis). These infections result from fungi invading and infecting the skin tissue, causing redness, irritation, rash, and scaling. By treating the cause of the infection, this combination relieves discomfort and facilitates healing.

Clotrimazole + Beclomethasone Dipropionate Lotion has two active ingredients: Clotrimazole, an antifungal, and Beclomethasone Dipropionate, a corticosteroid. Clotrimazole interferes with the fungal cell membrane, inhibiting the growth and proliferation of the fungus. On the other hand, Beclomethasone Dipropionate inhibits inflammation by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which cause redness, swelling, and itching. These two ingredients combined efficiently treat fungal infections while calming the infected skin.
