Lotrisone (Clotrimazole / Betamethasone Dipropionate Topical) - Indications and Dosage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

LOTRISONE^® Cream and Lotion are indicated in patients 17 years and older for the topical treatment of symptomatic inflammatory tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis due to Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Trichophyton rubrum. Effective treatment without the risks associated with topical corticosteroid use may be obtained using a topical antifungal agent that does not contain a corticosteroid, especially for noninflammatory tinea infections. The efficacy of LOTRISONE Cream or Lotion for the treatment of infections caused by zoophilic dermatophytes (eg, Microsporum canis) has not been established. Several cases of treatment failure of LOTRISONE Cream in the treatment of infections caused by Microsporum canis have been reported.
