With two active ingredients, Lotrisone can help treat certain inflamed fungal skin infections. Clotrimazole helps control fungal growth, while betamethasone, a corticosteroid, helps reduce redness, itching, and inflammation in the affected area. In Canada, this combination may be discussed in dermatology or primary care when assessing inflamed fungal skin conditions.
Lotrisone may be used for certain fungal skin infections. To find out which organism is causing your symptoms, you should see a Canadian clinician. You may also need tests to identify the cause.
For yeast-related skin infections, Lotrisone may be used only when the skin is affected. It should not be used for vaginal yeast infections or on mucous membranes. A typical course may last up to 2 weeks with twice-daily application, depending on the condition and your clinician's advice.
This medicine is commonly prescribed for ringworm, jock itch, and athlete's foot.
No. Eczema is not a fungal infection, so Lotrisone is not appropriate and may be harmful if used incorrectly.
Lotrisone is available as a cream or lotion. Both typically contain clotrimazole 1% and betamethasone 0.05%, so you and your healthcare provider in Canada can decide which formulation is best.
How long treatment lasts depends on your progress and the condition being treated. For ringworm, Lotrisone is often used twice daily for at least 1 week. Even if symptoms improve sooner, complete the course as directed to help reduce the chance of the infection coming back.
If symptoms are still present after 1 week, treatment may continue for another 7 days, depending on clinical advice. A similar approach may be used for jock itch. When treating a fungal infection in the groin, make sure your underwear is not tight and is made from natural fabrics to help reduce sweating and moisture.
Athlete's foot can be harder to treat and may require up to 4 weeks. The cream or lotion is usually applied twice a day, in the morning and at bedtime.
Gently rub the medicine into the affected areas of skin.
Use it on the face only if a clinician specifically advises you to. Avoid getting the cream or lotion in your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Do not use more than 45 g of cream or 45 mL of lotion per week unless directed by a clinician, as using too much can increase the risk of side effects.
Some people should avoid Lotrisone. This includes people with:
Lotrisone is contraindicated in people younger than 17 years. Older adults should use this medicine under close supervision, as the risk of side effects may be higher. Never use this medicine by mouth or vaginally. Avoid getting it in the eyes and nose.
During pregnancy, Lotrisone should be used only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks and if a clinician advises it. If you are breastfeeding, speak with a healthcare professional before using it.
This medicine is usually well tolerated when used as directed. However, side effects can happen. The most common local reactions include:
These reactions are usually limited to the areas where the medication is applied. If you have these symptoms, contact your clinician to discuss what to do next.
Rare but potentially serious effects have also been reported. Get medical advice promptly if you notice:
This is not a complete list of possible reactions. Ask a pharmacist or clinician for more information, and seek urgent medical help if your symptoms are severe or concerning.
I live in St. Johns and want to order the cream. Can I enter my postal code before paying to see whether shipping is available to my address?
Yes. Enter your St. Johns postal code at checkout to check whether the product can be shipped to your address before you complete the order.
My tube arrived in Sherbrooke after several very cold days and the parcel had been left outside. What should I check before I use the cream?
Check that the tube is intact and that the cream has not separated, hardened, changed colour, or developed an unusual smell. It should be stored between 2°C and 30°C and not frozen; if its condition is uncertain after the cold exposure, do not use it until it has been checked.
I am 71 and have been prescribed this cream for an itchy fungal rash. Is there a different age-related restriction for older adults?
Age alone does not create a specific restriction for this cream in adults. Use it only on the prescribed area and for the prescribed short course, since applying large amounts, using it for too long, or covering it tightly can increase absorption of the corticosteroid.

The parcel cleared customs without any follow-up questions. The order for clotrimazole and betamethasone continued without delay.
I chose the pack of 8 for Lotrisone Cream; the larger package was the practical option for me.
I found the packaging good.
I'm pleased with it.
