Combination drugs: Canesten HC®, Lotriderm®

The drug is a combination product containing clotrimazole, an antifungal component, and betamethasone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. It is a topical agent most often applied to the skin for the treatment of ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot accompanied by inflammation. In addition, the combination may be administered as a secondary treatment for yeast infections of the skin caused by Candida albicans.

There are currently no reported nutrient or herb interactions involving clotrimazole. However, small amounts of topically applied corticosteroids may enter the blood and interact with other substances. Refer to the article on oral corticosteroid for potential interactions.
