Uses of Clodid-B Cream

Benefits of Clodid-B Cream

In Skin infections

Clodid-B Cream is a combination of medicines used to treat skin infections caused by microorganisms such as fungi. It works by killing and stopping the growth of infection causing microorganisms, thereby clearing the infection and relieving the symptoms. It also blocks the release of chemicals that cause symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling. Therefore this medicine relieves the inflammation due to these infections.
You should use this medicine for as long as it is prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear, otherwise they may come back. Depending on the type of infection you are treating, this may be several weeks. Even after your skin is completely cured, you may have to apply it occasionally to prevent the symptoms from returning.

How Clodid-B Cream works

Clodid-B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Clotrimazole which treat skin infections.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
