Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines three active ingredients: Clotrimazole, Hydrocortisone, and Mupirocin. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that works by inhibiting the growth of fungus. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that reduces swelling, itching, and redness. Mupirocin is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from growing on your skin. Together, these ingredients treat a variety of skin conditions, including fungal infections, inflammation, and bacterial infections.

It's important to be aware of potential drug interactions when using this formulation. Clotrimazole, Hydrocortisone, and Mupirocin can interact with other medications, leading to increased side effects or decreased effectiveness. For example, using other topical medications on the same area of skin can lead to increased absorption and potential toxicity. Therefore, it's important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are currently using, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and herbal supplements.

Specifically, Hydrocortisone can interact with certain medications such as aldesleukin, mifepristone, and drugs that can cause skin thinning (for example, topical steroids). Clotrimazole can interact with certain medications such as warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding. Mupirocin can interact with other antibiotics used on the skin, potentially leading to increased side effects.

Furthermore, this formulation should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. It's also important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If the cream is accidentally applied to these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.

While using this formulation, it's important to follow the directions provided by your healthcare provider. Typically, the cream should be applied to the affected area in a thin layer, usually twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not apply more often or use longer than prescribed. Doing so can increase the risk of side effects.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help ensure that you use this medication safely and effectively.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of three active ingredients: Clotrimazole, Hydrocortisone, and Mupirocin, each playing a unique role in treating various skin conditions. It is dispensed as a semisolid preparation in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that works by inhibiting the growth of fungus. It does this by interfering with the production of the fungal cell membrane. When applied topically, Clotrimazole is effective in treating skin infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch, among others.

Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness. It does this by suppressing the immune response, which reduces the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. This makes it effective in treating a variety of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash.

Mupirocin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria. It does this by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins, which are necessary for the bacteria to survive and multiply. Mupirocin is effective in treating skin infections such as impetigo, folliculitis, and furunculosis.

When combined, these three ingredients provide a broad spectrum of action against a variety of skin conditions. The antifungal properties of Clotrimazole, the anti-inflammatory and itch-relieving properties of Hydrocortisone, and the antibacterial properties of Mupirocin work together to treat the infection, reduce inflammation and relieve discomfort. This makes the formulation effective in treating a variety of skin conditions that may involve fungal and bacterial infections, as well as inflammation and itching.

It's important to note that this formulation should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. Overuse or misuse can lead to decreased effectiveness and increased side effects. If you have any questions about this formulation, its use, or its side effects, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Other Uses

Our Clotrimazole 2%/Hydrocortisone 1.25%/Mupirocin 1% Topical Cream has been specifically designed to not only effectively treat selected dermatological conditions but could potentially also have other therapeutic applications. Each active ingredient in this formulation plays a specific role that can be capitalized on in managing diverse clinical states.

Clotrimazole, an antifungal agent, is often used not just for superficial mycoses but may also be beneficial in managing certain conditions like tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and candidiasis of the skin. Hydorcortisone, a corticosteroid, is excellent for its anti-inflammatory and immune-suppressive properties, which can be useful for managing a wide range of skin irritations and inflammatory conditions besides the ones mentioned above. Conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis, not previously listed, could potentially benefit from the inclusion of Hydrocortisone in this formulation.

Mupirocin, a potent antibiotic, is a valuable addition to this compound. While primarily used for bacterial infections, Mupirocin can also be utilized to prevent infections in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns that are at risk of bacterial contamination. Therefore, this topical cream, originally prescribed for being antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal may serve multiple benefits if used after consultations with a healthcare provider.

Nevertheless, it is essential to remember that the usefulness of our formulation in treating conditions not previously listed should only be contemplated after consulting a registered healthcare provider. It is also crucial for patients to inform their physicians about any allergies, previous reactions to any components of the formulation, or any other significant medical history. Patients should also disclose if they are pregnant, breastfeeding, or preparing for surgery, as some ingredients may pose risks in such situations.
