How It Works

The active ingredient, clotrimazole, works by damaging the cell membrane of the fungus responsible for the infection. This stops the fungus from growing and spreading, allowing the infection to clear. With regular use as directed, symptoms such as itching, redness, and scaling should gradually improve.

⸻

Directions for Use

This spray is suitable for adults and children. Spray a thin layer onto the affected area and the surrounding skin two to three times daily. Continue treatment for at least four weeks for athlete’s foot and ringworm, and for two to four weeks for other fungal infections, even if symptoms improve earlier — this helps prevent the infection from returning. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
