Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits ergosterol synthesis, damaging the fungal cell membrane and stopping fungal growth. Zinc oxide acts as a skin protectant and mild astringent, forming a protective barrier and reducing moisture/irritation.

For external use only. Wet skin, apply lather with the bar on affected area, leave briefly, then rinse and pat dry. Use 1–2 times daily or as directed by a doctor; continue for the full recommended duration even if symptoms improve.
