About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Lactifem Itch Cream contains Lidocaine (2% w/v) and Clotrimazole (1% w/v), formulated for the symptomatic relief of itching and discomfort associated with fungal infections of the skin. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, provides rapid relief by blocking nerve signals in the affected area, thereby reducing itching and pain. Clotrimazole, an imidazole antifungal agent, exhibits broad-spectrum activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and cell death. This combination cream is indicated for the treatment of superficial fungal infections such as candidiasis, tinea corporis, and tinea cruris, where pruritus and irritation are prominent symptoms. Lactifem Itch Cream should be applied topically to the affected area twice daily, ensuring the skin is clean and dry prior to application. Treatment duration typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on clinical response. Caution is advised in patients with known hypersensitivity to lidocaine, clotrimazole, or any excipients. Use in pregnant or lactating women should be under medical supervision. Adverse effects are generally mild and may include local irritation or allergic reactions. Discontinue use if severe irritation or hypersensitivity occurs and consult a healthcare professional.

About Lidocaine
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic used to relieve pain and discomfort associated with various conditions, including skin irritation and post-herpetic neuralgia. It works by blocking nerve signals in the affected area, providing localized numbness. This medication is essential for managing pain during medical procedures. In summary, Lidocaine is effective in providing local anesthesia.
How It Works
Lidocaine blocks sodium channels in nerve membranes, preventing the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses.
All Active Ingredients
Clotrimazole
Clotrimazole disrupts the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, leading to leakage of cellular components and death of the fungus.
