Clotrimazole is an anti-fungal medicine indicated for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and tinea. It can be used either in combination with other drugs (betamethasone dipropionate) or alone, in form of topical or vaginal cream. The drug exerts its action by inhibiting lanosterol demethylase thereby affecting the growth of fungi.
