Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication commonly used in the treatment of fungal infections of both humans and animals such as vaginal yeast infections and ringworm. It also cures athlete's foot and nail infections.
It is commonly available as an over-the-counter substance in various dosage forms, such as a cream, and also (especially in the case of ear infection) as a combination medicine. In the latter case, it typically includes an antibiotic such as Marbofloxacin, and is applied in liquid form, as ear drops.
Fungal infections can be slow to clear up, so the usual course for an anti-fungal agent is usually longer than the typical 3-7 days of an antibiotic.
