FAQs:

What is Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder used for?

Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder is an antifungal medicine. It is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm (fungal skin infection that causes a red scaly rash on different parts of the body), athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), fungal nappy rash and fungal sweat rash. It is also used to relieve irritation of the vulva (external thrush) and irritation occurring at the end of the penis, which may be associated with thrush.

Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder is effective against which fungi?

Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder is effective against Trichophyton species which cause ringworm infection, athlete’s foot, and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the groin or buttocks). It is also effective against yeast known as Franka which commonly causes vaginal thrush (infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast called Franka albicans).

I have started using Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?

The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, the signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. Do not stop applying this medicine before the duration advised by your doctor, even if you feel better.

What precautions are necessary while applying Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder?

Forever wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder. If you are using the cream for an infected foot, wash and dry your feet thoroughly before applying the cream, especially between the toes, before applying the cream. Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder should be applied thinly and evenly and rubbed gently onto the affected areas two or three times daily.

For how long should I apply Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?

The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection. In general, the treatment is continued for 1 month for tinea infection and for at least 15 days for candida infection. Do not stop the treatment on your own even if you feel better because the infection may come back as it takes some time to kill the fungus.

Is Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder safe to use in children?

Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder is safe for children only if taken as directed by the doctor. It should be given to children in the correct dose only for the prescribed length of time. Minor side effects may occur but usually, they are not bothersome. However, if you develop a burning sensation, redness, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop the medicine and contact your doctor.

Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?

Retain the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. You may have the urge to scratch because of itchiness but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of the skin and cause the infection to spread further. Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.

Does Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder affect contraception?

Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, like diaphragms and condoms. If you are using the cream on the vulva or penis, you should use alternative methods of contraception, for at least 5 days after using Clotriscot 1% Dusting Powder.
