Product Overview
Clocip B Cream 10 gm (Clotrimazole/Beclometasone) is a dual-action topical treatment designed to help relieve itchy, red, and irritated fungal skin infections. It pairs an antifungal (clotrimazole) with a mild-to-moderate corticosteroid (beclometasone, sometimes spelled beclomethasone) to tackle both the source of the infection and the uncomfortable inflammation that can come with it. The 10 gm tube is compact and easy to keep on hand, so using it as directed fits right into your routine.
If a clinician has confirmed a fungal condition such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, or ringworm—and there’s noticeable redness and itching—this combination may be considered. Always follow local labeling and your healthcare provider’s instructions for safe use.
What this Topical Therapy Treats
Clocip B Cream is commonly used for fungal skin infections when inflammation makes symptoms worse. These may include:
- Tinea corporis (ringworm on the body)
- Tinea cruris (jock itch in the groin area)
- Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot between toes or on soles)
- Other superficial fungal rashes confirmed by a professional
How the Dual-Action Formula Works
Here’s the simple breakdown. Clotrimazole targets the fungus itself by disrupting the cell membrane, which helps stop growth. Beclometasone reduces the body’s inflammatory response—less redness, less swelling, and less itch. So, Clocip B Cream 10 gm (Clotrimazole/Beclometasone) goes after the root cause while also easing the discomfort that can keep you up at night or make daily life annoying.

How to Apply it Correctly
- Wash and dry: Clean hands and the affected skin. Pat dry thoroughly, especially between toes and skin folds.
- Thin layer only: Apply a small, thin film of Clocip B Cream 10 gm (Clotrimazole/Beclometasone) to the affected area and a little beyond the visible edge.
- Gentle rub-in: Massage lightly until absorbed. Do not bandage or occlude unless your provider says so.
- Follow directions: Use exactly as directed on the label or by your clinician. Do not use more often or longer than recommended.
- Avoid sensitive spots: Keep away from eyes, mouth, inside the nose, and inside the vagina. Wash hands after applying.
What to Expect During Treatment
- In the first few days: Itch and redness often start to ease.
- Over the next 1–2 weeks: The visible rash typically improves if it’s the right diagnosis and you’re applying consistently.
- If it stalls or worsens: Stop and check with a clinician. You may need a different plan or a non-steroid antifungal depending on the location and severity.
Possible Side Effects to Know

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Clocip B Cream 10 gm (Clotrimazole/Beclometasone) used for?+
It is a dual-action topical cream used for clinician-confirmed fungal skin infections where inflammation and itching are present, such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, or jock itch.
How long should I use this cream?+
Use only for as long as directed on the label or by your healthcare provider. Short treatment courses are common. If you do not see improvement as expected, check back with a clinician.
Can I use it on my face or groin?+
Avoid these areas unless a clinician specifically instructs you to do so. Skin in these regions is thinner and more sensitive to steroid effects.
What if the itch gets better but the rash stays?+
Steroids may quickly reduce itching and redness, but the fungal infection still needs proper antifungal treatment. If the rash lingers or spreads, stop use and consult a clinician.
Is it safe for children?+
Only use in children if a pediatric healthcare professional recommends it. Young skin can absorb steroids more easily, increasing the risk of side effects.
Can I cover it with a bandage?+
Do not use occlusive dressings unless your clinician tells you to. Covering the area can increase steroid absorption and the risk of side effects.
What if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?+
Ask your healthcare provider before using any steroid-containing antifungal cream during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
