Lotrimin Cream

Generic Name: Clotrimazole Cream (kloe-TRIM-uh-zole)
Brand Name: Examples include Lotrimin and Mycelex

Lotrimin Cream is used for:

Treating athlete"s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Lotrimin Cream is an antifungal agent. It kills sensitive fungi by binding to the fungal cell membrane and weakening it. This allows the cell contents to leak out and results in the death of the fungus.

you are allergic to any ingredient in Lotrimin Cream

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
