Cantil-B Lotion

Cantil-B Lotion is a topical formulation that combines Beclometasone (0.025% w/v), a corticosteroid, and Clotrimazole (1% w/v), an antifungal agent. This powerful combination is designed to treat both fungal infections and inflammatory skin conditions. Cantil-B Lotion works to reduce redness, swelling, and itching caused by inflammation, while also effectively treating fungal infections, leading to improved skin health and faster healing.

Uses of Cantil-B Lotion

Cantil-B Lotion is used to treat the following conditions:

• Fungal skin infections, such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch
• Inflammatory skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis
• Reduces itching, swelling, and redness associated with both fungal infections and skin irritations

How Cantil-B Lotion Works

Cantil-B Lotion works by combining the anti-inflammatory properties of Beclometasone with the antifungal effects of Clotrimazole. Beclometasone reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching, while Clotrimazole targets and eliminates the fungal infection. This dual-action approach provides comprehensive relief from both the symptoms and the root causes of skin conditions.

Benefits of Cantil-B Lotion

• Effective treatment for both fungal infections and inflammatory skin conditions
• Reduces itching, redness, and swelling caused by skin irritations and infections
• Non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula that leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth
• Helps prevent the spread of fungal infections to other areas of the skin
