Clovis Cream is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, nappy rash, sweat rash, and vaginal thrush.

Introduction:
Clovis Cream is for external use only. You should use it in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need as that may cause increased side effects. If your condition goes on for longer than four weeks or gets worse at any time, let your doctor know. The effects of this medicine can be increased by keeping the affected area clean and dry and washing hands before and after treating the infection. If you have an athlete’s foot, wash your socks or tights thoroughly and change your shoes daily if possible. Some of the common side effects include skin irritation, redness, or itching at the site of application. If the side effects bother you or do not go away, let your doctor know. Some people have a severe allergic reaction that needs urgent medical attention. Signs of this include rash, swelling of the lips, throat, or face, swallowing or breathing problems, dizziness, and nausea. Get emergency help if this happens. It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed during pregnancy.

FAQs:

• What is Clovis Cream used for?
  Clovis Cream is an antifungal medicine used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, fungal nappy rash, and fungal sweat rash. It also relieves irritation of the vulva (external thrush) and irritation occurring at the end of the penis, which may be associated with thrush.


• Clovis Cream is effective against which fungi?
  Clovis Cream is effective against Trichophyton species, which cause ringworm infection, athlete's foot, and jock itch, as well as Candida yeast, which commonly causes vaginal thrush.


• I have started using Clovis Cream. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?
  The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, the signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. It is essential to complete the full treatment duration advised by your doctor, even if you feel better.


• What precautions are necessary while applying Clovis Cream?
  Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Clovis Cream. If using the cream for an infected foot, wash and dry the feet thoroughly before applying the cream, especially between the toes. Apply the cream thinly and evenly, rubbing it gently onto the affected areas two to three times daily.


• For how long should I apply Clovis Cream? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?
  The treatment duration depends on the type of infection. Typically, treatment is continued for one month for tinea infections and at least 15 days for candida infections. Do not stop treatment on your own, as the infection may recur and it takes time to kill the fungus.


• Is Clovis Cream safe to use in children?
  Clovis Cream is safe for children when used as directed by a doctor. It should be given to children in the correct dose only for the prescribed length of time. Minor side effects may occur, but they are usually not bothersome. However, if you experience a burning sensation, redness, and itching (severe in nature), stop the medicine and consult your doctor.


• Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?
  Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry, but avoid excessive rubbing. If you experience itchiness, avoid scratching as it can damage the skin and spread the infection further. Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with others to prevent spreading the infection.


• Does Clovis Cream affect contraception?
  Clovis Cream may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, such as diaphragms and condoms. If using the cream on the vulva or penis, use alternative methods of contraception for at least 5 days after using Clovis Cream.
