Description
Hydrozole Cream 20g — Clotrimazole + Hydrocortisone (GSK)
Prescription required. Use only as directed by a licensed physician or dermatologist.
Hydrozole Cream 20g is a dual-action prescription topical cream manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). It combines two active ingredients — Clotrimazole 1% (a broad-spectrum antifungal) and Hydrocortisone 1% (a mild corticosteroid anti-inflammatory) — to address both the fungal infection and its associated inflammatory symptoms in a single application.
Mechanism of Action
- Clotrimazole: disrupts the fungal cell membrane by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, effectively killing the causative organism (dermatophytes, Candida)
- Hydrocortisone: a mild topical corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling, and itching associated with fungal skin infections
Indicated For
- Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
- Jock itch (tinea cruris)
- Nappy/diaper rash with candidal component
- Other fungal skin infections with significant inflammation — only as diagnosed and prescribed by a licensed physician
Directions for Use (As Prescribed)
- Clean and dry the affected area before application.
- Apply a thin layer to the affected skin twice daily, or as directed by your doctor.
- Wash hands thoroughly after application.
- Do not cover with an occlusive bandage unless prescribed.
- Complete the full prescribed course. Do not discontinue early even if symptoms improve.
- Do not exceed the prescribed duration — prolonged topical corticosteroid use can cause adverse effects.
Important Precautions
- Prescription required — not for self-medication
- Do not use on broken skin, open wounds, or near eyes and mucous membranes
- Not recommended for long-term use on large skin areas
- Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding
- If symptoms persist or worsen, return to your prescribing physician
