Closrid-B Cream is a topical antifungal medication, combines Clotrimazole (1.0%), an antifungal agent, and Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025%), a corticosteroid. This combination is designed to treat various fungal skin infections accompanied by inflammation and itching, such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch. Clotrimazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, while Beclomethasone reduces inflammation, redness, and itching associated with these infections.
Key Benefits of Closrid-B Cream

2. Anti-Inflammatory Effect: Beclomethasone Dipropionate reduces inflammation, redness, and itching, providing symptomatic relief.
3. Dual Action: The combination addresses both the fungal infection and the associated inflammatory symptoms, offering comprehensive treatment.
4. Versatile Application: Suitable for treating various fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch.
How Does Closrid-B Cream Work?
Clotrimazole: As an imidazole antifungal agent, Clotrimazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to increased membrane permeability and ultimately the death of the fungal cells.
Beclomethasone Dipropionate: This corticosteroid suppresses the inflammatory response by inhibiting the release of substances that cause inflammation. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching associated with skin infections.
