About Abzorb Syndet Bar

CLOTRIMAZOLE is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and other fungal skin infections. This medication is also used to treat a skin condition known as pityriasis (flaking or scaling of the skin). CLOTRIMAZOLE works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. CLOTRIMAZOLE destroys the infection by allowing the holes to open in the cell membrane and the components to leak out. This kills the fungus and cures the infection.

CLOTRIMAZOLE should be used for skin only and accidentally if it gets into your eye, mouth, or nose rinse with water. CLOTRIMAZOLE should be applied to the affected area with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab. CLOTRIMAZOLE should not be applied more than the recommended dose, to avoid unpleasant side effects. Some common side effects of CLOTRIMAZOLE are burning, itching, redness, stinging, and dryness on your skin in the place where CLOTRIMAZOLE ointment is applied. Sensitive allergic reactions (skin hypersensitivity reactions) like rashes, itching, swelling, and hypotension can occur in rare cases. Please consult your doctor if an allergic reaction becomes severe.
