Clotrimazole is an azole antifungal for athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm and skin yeast infections; PockDose lists a plain 15g cream and two 10g clotrimazole and betamethasone combinations.
Clotrimazole
15g
Clotrimazole antifungal cream in 15g tubes for athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm and yeast infections of the skin, ordered online for Hong Kong.
Itchy, flaking skin between the toes is the usual reason people look up clotrimazole. It is an azole antifungal, and azoles stop fungi making ergosterol, a fat their outer membrane needs, so the membrane leaks and growth stops. The skin fungi (dermatophytes) behind athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm respond to it, and so does the Candida yeast behind thrush on the skin. Little of it gets into the bloodstream through skin, so creams and sprays handle skin infections, and tablets are kept for nails, scalp and deeper infections.
Clotrimazole is the plain cream, in 15g tubes. Spread it thinly a few times a day for two to four weeks. Redness, itching, burning or stinging where it goes on are the side effects to expect. Keep it out of the eyes and mouth, and remember that it can damage latex condoms and diaphragms. An ordinary itchy fungal rash that is not especially red or sore is what it suits.
What if the rash is angry as well as itchy? A 10g tube pairs clotrimazole with betamethasone, a corticosteroid. Lotrisone is the generic of the familiar brand, also sold as Betamethasone / Clotrimazole, the same pairing under its ingredient names. The steroid calms the redness, swelling and itch faster while the clotrimazole deals with the fungus. Inflamed athlete's foot, jock itch or ringworm are the cases. Steroid creams are for a short stretch, not weeks, because long use can thin the skin, and they are not for a rash of unknown cause.
More antifungal treatments are in the antifungals category, and the two combinations also appear in skin care.
No. Cream barely gets through the nail plate, and scalp ringworm sits under hair, so both need tablets. A rash that hasn't improved after about a week may not be fungal at all. If you are allergic to clotrimazole or other imidazole antifungals, avoid these tubes; a serious allergic reaction is rare. Keep them at room temperature.
You can order Clotrimazole online with delivery to Hong Kong. The range covers Clotrimazole tubes at 15g and generic Lotrisone tubes at 10g, also sold as Betamethasone / Clotrimazole, which combine clotrimazole with betamethasone. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on a secure, encrypted payment page, or by Bitcoin or Ethereum.
It depends on the product, strength and pack size. Each of the two clotrimazole products listed here shows its current prices in HKD or the currency you select.
PockDose does not ask you to upload a prescription when you order clotrimazole. See the ordering FAQ for details.
Canesten and Lotrimin are brand names of clotrimazole, which is also sold as Candid, Clotrimaderm and Mycelex. Here, clotrimazole can be bought online as clotrimazole tubes. These are generics, not the original brand.
Betamethasone. Lotrisone adds a steroid to clotrimazole to take the redness and itch out of an inflamed rash, while plain clotrimazole only treats the fungus. Here Lotrisone is a generic 10g tube and plain clotrimazole is a 15g cream.
Yes. Athlete's foot is one of its main uses. Dry the feet well, especially between the toes, spread the cream thinly a few times daily and keep going after the itch has gone.
Plain clotrimazole is the one to use for thrush on the skin, such as skin folds, around the vulva or on the penis. The steroid combinations are aimed at inflamed fungal rashes rather than yeast infections.
Both are clotrimazole with betamethasone in 10g tubes. Lotrisone is the generic of the brand name Lotrisone, and Betamethasone / Clotrimazole lists the same pair by its ingredient names, so what separates them is the name on the tube.
