Betamethasone Clotrimazole is a combination medication that contains Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, and Clotrimazole, an antifungal. This combination is primarily used to treat inflammatory skin conditions that are complicated by fungal infections, such as fungal skin infections combined with conditions like eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis.
Betamethasone helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling, while Clotrimazole works by killing the fungi responsible for the infection. Together, these ingredients provide effective treatment for both the inflammatory symptoms and the fungal infection, improving symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling. This medication is typically applied topically as a cream or ointment. It is important to follow usage instructions carefully to avoid potential side effects, such as skin thinning or other issues related to corticosteroid use when applied for prolonged periods.
