Containing two active ingredients, Lotrisone can help treat certain inflammatory fungal skin infections. Clotrimazole helps control fungal growth, while betamethasone (a corticosteroid) reduces redness, itching and inflammation in the affected area.
Lotrisone may be used for certain fungal skin infections. To find out which organism is causing your symptoms, you should speak to a clinician. You may also need tests to identify the pathogen.
For yeast-related skin infections, Lotrisone may be used only when the skin is affected. It should not be used for vaginal yeast infections or on mucous membranes. A typical course may last up to 2 weeks with twice-daily application, depending on the condition and your clinician's advice.
The medicine is commonly prescribed for ringworm, jock itch and athlete's foot.
No. Eczema is not a fungal infection, so Lotrisone is not suitable and may be harmful if used incorrectly.
Lotrisone is available as a cream or lotion. Both typically contain clotrimazole 1% and betamethasone 0.05% (the same active ingredients), so you and your healthcare provider in the United Kingdom can decide which formulation is best.
The length of treatment may vary depending on your progress and the condition being treated. For ringworm, Lotrisone is often used twice daily for at least 1 week. Even if symptoms improve sooner, complete the course as directed to help reduce the risk of it coming back.
If symptoms are still present after 1 week, treatment may continue for another 7 days, depending on clinical advice. A similar approach may be used for jock itch. When treating a fungal infection in the groin, make sure your underwear is not tight and is made from natural fabrics to help reduce sweating and moisture.
Athlete's foot can be harder to treat and may require up to 4 weeks. The cream or lotion is usually applied twice a day, in the morning and at bedtime.
Rub the medicine gently into the affected areas of skin.
Use on the face only if a clinician has specifically advised it. Avoid getting the cream or lotion into your eyes, nose or mouth.
Do not use more than 45 g of cream or 45 mL of lotion per week unless directed by a clinician, as using too much can increase the risk of side effects.
Certain people should avoid Lotrisone. This includes people with:
Lotrisone is contraindicated in people under 17 years of age. Older adults should use the preparation under close supervision, as the risk of side effects may be higher. This medicine must not be taken by mouth or used vaginally. Avoid contact with the eyes and inside the nose.
During pregnancy, Lotrisone should be used only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks and if advised by a clinician. If you are breastfeeding, speak to a healthcare professional before using it.
The medicine is usually well tolerated when used as directed. However, side effects can happen. The most common local reactions include:
These reactions are usually limited to the areas where the medicine is applied. If you experience these symptoms, contact your clinician to discuss what to do next.
Rare but potentially serious effects have also been reported. Seek medical advice promptly if you notice:
This is not a complete list of possible reactions. Ask a pharmacist or clinician in the UK for more information, and seek urgent medical help if your symptoms are severe or worrying.
I have found what appears to be the same cream online for much less. Why should I order from you instead?
We stand behind the quality of the generic medicines we offer. We cannot verify what another seller supplies, how it is sourced or handled, or whether a similar name and lower price represents a genuinely equivalent product. The choice is yours, but only you can decide whether that saving is worth accepting an unknown seller risk.
Will my tube show the Lotrisone name, or might it have a generic or manufacturer name on it?
We cannot guarantee the exact trade or manufacturer name printed on the supplied tube. Before use, check that the label identifies clotrimazole and betamethasone cream at clotrimazole 1% / betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% and that the dosage form is cream.
I have a red, itchy patch near my eye that I think may be fungal. Can I put this cream on my face?
Do not apply this cream near the eyes, and facial rashes should be assessed rather than self-treated with this combination. Betamethasone is a potent topical corticosteroid and can cause problems on thin facial skin or mask another condition.
