Composition

Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025 %) + Clotrimazole (1 %)

Clocip-B Cream is primarily used to manage various fungal skin infections that are accompanied by inflammation. This combination medicine belongs to the class of antifungal and anti-inflammatory medications.

In addition to managing fungal infections, this cream also provides relief from inflammatory symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching. As a dual-action medication, it not only addresses the root cause—the fungal infection—but also alleviates the discomfort caused by the associated inflammation.

Before you start using this cream, it's essential to consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. Do inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications you are on. If you experience any side effects while using this cream, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue using the cream for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Clocip-B Cream is a combination of two medicines, Clotrimazole and Beclometasone, used to treat skin infections caused by fungi. It is effective for athlete's foot (Tinea pedis), jock itch (Tinea cruris), ringworm (Tinea corporis), candidiasis, and pityriasis versicolor, which causes skin discolouration. The cream can also be used for other skin conditions that respond to corticosteroids but are complicated by fungal infections.

Directions for Use of Clocip B Cream 10gm

Use Clocip-B Cream as follows:

Ensure that the affected skin area is clean and dry.
Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area.
Gently massage it into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream.
Avoid applying the cream to your face, groin, or underarms unless specifically advised by your doctor.
Remember, the amount you need will depend on the size of the affected area. Always consult your doctor for specific instructions on how to use this medicine.

Clocip-B Cream is applied topically.

Clocip-B Cream may have the following common side effects:

Burning sensation
Itching
Skin irritation or rash
Dryness
Folliculitis: This condition involves inflammation around one or more hair follicles.
Hypopigmentation: This is a decrease in skin colour.
Secondary infection

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Clocip-B Cream. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some suggestions for managing a couple of these side effects:

Burning sensation: Try applying the cream at a different time of day to see if this reduces the burning sensation.
Dryness: Apply a moisturiser an hour after applying Clocip-B Cream to help manage skin dryness.

Clocip-B Cream contains two active ingredients that work together to manage fungal skin infections and inflammation:

Clotrimazole (1%): This ingredient interferes with the production of ergosterol, a key component in fungal cell membranes. By disrupting this process, clotrimazole increases cell permeability, leading to leakage of cellular contents and inhibiting fungal growth. It has both fungistatic (inhibits growth) and fungicidal (kills fungi) activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and other pathogenic fungi.
Beclomethasone dipropionate (0.025%): This component acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. It suppresses the production of certain chemicals in your skin that cause inflammation, such as prostaglandins. By doing so, it helps reduce redness, itching, and swelling associated with dermatoses.

Pregnancy

Clocip-B Cream should be used with care during pregnancy. It's best to discuss this with your doctor before using this cream.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it is advisable to consult your doctor before applying Clocip-B Cream.

Alcohol

There is typically no interaction between Clocip-B Cream and alcohol as it is a topical medication. However, always consult your doctor for any concerns.

Liver

Clocip-B Cream is applied to the skin, making interaction with liver diseases uncommon. Nonetheless, if you have liver health issues, discuss this with your doctor before using this medicine.

Kidney

Usually, there's no interaction between Clocip-B Cream and kidney diseases because it is a topical cream. However, if you have kidney health concerns, it's best to consult your doctor before using this cream.

Using Machines & Driving

Clocip-B Cream does not impact your ability to drive or operate machinery. It's a topical medicine applied to the skin.

Allergy

If you are allergic to beclomethasone, clotrimazole, or any components in Clocip-B Cream, avoid using this medicine. Always inform your doctor about any allergies before starting to use this cream.

Children

Clocip-B Cream is meant for adult use. Consult your doctor if considered for children below 18 years of age.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Clocip-B Cream under medical supervision, as they might be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Clocip-B Cream interacts with the following medicines:

Other Topical Corticosteroids: Applying multiple corticosteroid-containing creams on the same area can potentially increase the risk of side effects, such as skin thinning and discoloration. Be cautious, if you are also using other corticosteroid creams like hydrocortisone or prednisolone on the same skin area.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known food interactions with Clocip-B Cream. Given it's a topical medication, what you eat is unlikely to impact its effectiveness.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Clocip-B Cream interacts with the following diseases:

Skin Infections: The presence of bacterial or fungal skin infections might require treatment before starting therapy with Clocip-B Cream to avoid worsening of these conditions.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Clocip-B Cream should be applied as directed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on individual factors such as the severity of the condition and response to treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage and refrain from exceeding it without consulting your doctor. For further details, read the package insert.

Over Dose

If you accidentally apply too much Clocip-B Cream, don't panic. However, keep an eye out for common side effects like skin irritation, dryness, or rash. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Clocip-B Cream at the scheduled time, apply it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for the next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never apply extra cream to compensate for a missed dose without consulting your doctor.

Store Clocip-B Cream at room temperature below 30°C.
Keep it away from direct heat and moisture.
Make sure the tube is tightly closed when not in use.
Do not freeze this medicine.
Keep it out of reach of children.

For managing fungal skin infections like athlete's feet, make sure to keep your feet clean and dry. Avoid wearing wet socks or footwear for prolonged periods as damp conditions can encourage fungal growth.
If you're dealing with jock itch or ringworm, maintain good hygiene by washing the affected area daily and drying thoroughly, as fungi thrive in moist, warm environments. Wearing loose-fitting clothes can also help prevent these infections from worsening.
