How Abzorb Dusting Powder works

Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits ergosterol synthesis, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This increases membrane permeability and leads to leakage of cell contents, stopping fungal growth and clearing infection.

How to take Abzorb Dusting Powder

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then dust a thin layer of powder 2-3 times daily or as directed by the doctor. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin; wash hands after use. Continue for the full prescribed duration even if symptoms improve.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
