How Napigard Dusting Powder works

Napigard Dusting Powder is a combination of two medicines: Clotrimazole and Zinc Oxide. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication.

Zinc Oxide creates a protective barrier and deflects UV rays off your skin (both UVA and UVB). It also soothes skin and eases inflammation. Together, they treat your infection effectively.
