Lotrisone (Clotrimazole/Betamethasone) Pharmacology

Lotrisone is a topical cream that contains a combination of clotrimazole, an antifungal, and betamethasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid.






It is used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm that also involve inflammation or itching.






Clotrimazole works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, while betamethasone reduces redness, swelling, and itching.






Lotrisone should not be used on the face, groin, or underarms for extended periods due to the risk of skin thinning and other steroid-related side effects.
