How it works
Napigard Dusting Powder is a combination of two medicines: Clotrimazole and Zinc Oxide. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection. Zinc Oxide creates a protective barrier and deflects UV rays off your skin (both UVA and UVB), soothing skin and easing inflammation. Together, they treat your infection effectively.
