It is an antifungal medication used solely for external use. It belongs to the class of drugs known as antifungals.
Clotrimazole works by disrupting the protective barrier of fungal cells. It messes with their membrane, making it difficult for them to survive. Essentially, clotrimazole weakens and damages the fungal cells, preventing their growth and reproduction.
Fungal infections of mouth (Thrush) are caused by an overgrowth of a fungus called Candida albicans in the mouth. This fungus normally lives in the mouth, but sometimes it can multiply and cause symptoms such as white patches, redness, soreness, and difficulty swallowing.
