Key Benefits & Uses

• Fungal Infection Relief: Highly effective against Ringworm, Athlete’s Foot, and Jock Itch (Dhobi Itch).

• Sweat Rash Control: Absorbs excess moisture and perspiration in skin folds (underarms, groin, etc.) where fungi thrive.

• Soothes Irritation: Provides quick relief from the intense itching, redness, and burning sensations associated with skin infections.

• Prevents Recurrence: Regular application helps clear the infection completely and prevents it from coming back by keeping the area dry.

• Broad Application: Can also be used for fungal nappy rashes in babies (under medical supervision) and "pityriasis" (scaling/flaking of the skin).

How to Use

1. Clean: Wash the affected area with mild soap and water.

2. Dry: Pat the area completely dry with a clean towel. Fungi grow in moisture, so this step is critical.

3. Apply: Sprinkle the powder generously over the affected skin and the immediate surrounding area.

4. Frequency: Use 2 to 3 times daily or as prescribed by your doctor.

5. Consistency: Continue using the powder for a few days even after symptoms disappear to ensure the fungus is fully eliminated.

Important Precautions

• External Use Only: Do not ingest or use inside the eyes, nose, or mouth.

• Avoid Broken Skin: Do not apply on deep open wounds or severely blistered skin unless advised by a doctor.

• Contraceptive Warning: If used in the genital area, be aware that Clotrimazole can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of latex contraceptives (condoms/diaphragms).

• Side Effects: While rare, some may experience mild stinging, redness, or skin peeling. If a severe rash develops, stop use and consult a doctor.
