Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat various fungal infections, including athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, helping to eliminate the infection and alleviate symptoms such as itching and redness. This medication is available in several forms, including creams, lotions, and lozenges. It is typically applied directly to the affected area or taken orally, depending on the type of infection being treated. Clotrimazole is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild side effects like skin irritation or allergic reactions.
