How Does Clotrimazole Cream Work? 

Clotrimazole Cream works by targeting and eliminating yeast and fungal infections. It achieves this by disrupting the production of ergosterol, a vital substance necessary for its survival.  By inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, clotrimazole weakens the cell structure, leading to cell death and the subsequent eradication of the infection.
