Zotrim B Lotion

Zotrim B Lotion is a topical solution that combines Beclometasone (0.025% w/v), a corticosteroid, with Clotrimazole (1% w/v), an antifungal agent. This combination provides an effective treatment for skin conditions that involve both fungal infections and inflammation. Zotrim B Lotion works by reducing redness, swelling, and itching while also targeting and eliminating fungal infections, offering relief and promoting the healing of the affected skin areas.

Uses of Zotrim B Lotion

Zotrim B Lotion is used for the treatment of the following conditions:

• Fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch
• Inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis
• Relieves itching, redness, and swelling caused by fungal infections and other skin irritations

How Zotrim B Lotion Works

Zotrim B Lotion combines the anti-inflammatory action of Beclometasone with the antifungal properties of Clotrimazole. Beclometasone works to reduce inflammation, swelling, and itching, while Clotrimazole targets and eliminates the fungal infection. This dual action effectively addresses both the inflammatory and fungal causes of the skin condition, providing comprehensive relief and aiding in faster healing.
