How It Works
This cream contains two active ingredients that work together. Clotrimazole is an antifungal that kills the fungi causing athlete’s foot by damaging their cell walls, stopping the infection from spreading. Hydrocortisone is a mild steroid that reduces inflammation, quickly relieving uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling.

Directions for Use
Adults and children aged 10 years and over: apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area and the surrounding skin two to three times daily. Wash and dry your feet thoroughly before applying, paying particular attention to the spaces between the toes. Continue treatment for at least two to four weeks, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection has fully cleared. This cream should not be used for more than 7 days in total. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Interactions
Canesten Hydrocortisone Athlete’s Foot Cream is applied to the skin and is unlikely to interact significantly with other medicines when used as directed. However, caution should be taken if you are already using other topical steroid products, as combined use may increase steroid absorption and the risk of side effects. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.
⸻
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
The use of hydrocortisone-containing creams during pregnancy is generally not recommended unless advised by a doctor, as steroids can be absorbed through the skin. If breastfeeding, avoid applying the cream to areas where a baby may come into contact with it. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
