How is this different from Tinactin? ## Hi John, Based on my research, Tinactin and Clarus-Antifungal solution both contain 1% of the same active ingredient Tolnaftate. The only difference would be the "inactive" ingredients used. Both of these anti-fungals come in cream form but from what I can gather, only Tinactin comes in an aerosol spray and powder formulation. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Tinactin Details I hope this helps! Please post back if you have any more questions.

White and purpule capsul ith the wording Randbaxy witten in black on the purple side of the pill. What pill is it and what is it used for? ## Is that the only marking on it? Are there any additional letters or numbers? Ranbaxy is a generic medication manufacturer, but there are usually some other markings included that help to identify the specific medication. Learn more prescription drug details here. ## I am currently using this same tablet, this capsule bears no other markings. I am using it for a pigmentation disorder. The doctor said I had some sort of fungus in my skin, therefore I have this white spots all over my body.

Can this cream be used for a yeast infection? ## I am experiencing a bad itch in my vagina and I have a tube of clotrimazole cream usp 1% but it expired two months ago. Is it still safe? ## RE: clotrimazole/betameth cream - Can I use it inside my vagina for dryness or yeast? ## I started using Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream 10 days ago for itching and burning in the groin area. How long will this condition take to heal with this cream? ## DO NOT USE INSIDE YOUR VAGINA! It clearly says that on my tube (no vagina). Not nose, mouth or eyes either. Use twice a day at the same schedule. Not longer than five days in a row and definitely not longer than 4 weeks!!!

I had too much of abnormal whitish discharge an my vagina was itching, I decided 2 go to d Doctor an he gave me green pills which he said they were for infection n it disappeared for a while an I'm having that kind of problem again, I just want to know the kind of infection an the treatment that doesn't involve going to the Doctor....thank you in advance ## I'm not a doctor, so I can give you a diagnosis and treatment. That said, that type of discharge and the itching is commonly caused by vaginal yeast infections. Learn more Candidiasis details here. And if that's what it was, then the medication was most likely an antifungal drug, but I can't tell you which one from just the color. Can you call them and ask what it was?

I have a yeast infection in my esophgus and my former Dr. did not give me this.

Hydrocortisone is used to relieve the itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort of various skin conditions. Diphenhydramine is used to relieve red, irritated, itchy, watery eyes; sneezing; and runny nose caused by hay fever, allergies, or the common cold.
