Indications of Neosten 1% Cream

• All dermatomycoses are caused by dermatophytes (e.g.Trichophyton species).
• All dermatomycoses are caused by yeasts (Candida species).
• Dermatomycoses are caused by molds and other fungi.
• These fungi superinfections are visible in skin disorders.
• Some examples of skin infections include interdigital mycoses (athlete's foot), paronychias (related to nail mycoses), mycoses in skin folds, Candida vulvitis, Candida balanitis, Pityriasis Versicolor, and erythrasma.

Pharmacology

Clotrimazole works by weakening the cell membrane's permeability barrier. Clotrimazole prevents the formation of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes. If ergosterol synthesis is completely or partially blocked, the cell can no longer generate an intact and functional cell membrane. Because ergosterol stimulates fungal cell proliferation in a hormone-like manner, the preceding events take place quickly, resulting in dose-dependent suppression of fungal growth.

Dosage & Administration of Neosten 20 Cream

• Clotrimazole Cream should be applied thinly and rubbed into the infected areas 2-3 times per day.
• Because of its high efficacy, a small amount of cream is usually sufficient for an area the size of a palm.
• For the treatment to be a complete success, Clotrimazole Cream must be applied consistently and for an extended period of time.
• The duration of treatment varies depending on the extent and localization of the disease, among other factors.

Recommended duration of treatment-

• Dermatomycoses: 3-4 weeks
• Candida vulvitis and Candida balanitis: 1-2 weeks
• Erythrasma and Pityriasis Versicolor: 3 weeks (approximately)

To prevent relapse of fungal infection of the feet, treatment should be continued for about 2 weeks after all signs of disease have disappeared. The feet should be thoroughly dried after washing (particularly spaces between the toes). Clotrimazole Cream has no odor, is washable, and does not stain clothing.
