Myda-B

Myda-B Cream combines two active ingredients:

• Clotrimazole 1% — Imidazole antifungal inhibiting 14-alpha demethylase, disrupting Ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. Covers Dermatophytes, Candida and Malassezia
• Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.05% — Potent corticosteroid suppressing Prostaglandins and Leukotrienes for rapid anti-inflammatory, anti-itch and anti-redness action

Dual-action: kills fungi while rapidly reducing inflammation. Minimal systemic absorption when used on limited areas.

Myda-B treats inflammatory fungal skin infections:

• Ringworm (Tinea corporis) — Red, circular, itchy patches on body
• Jock itch (Tinea cruris) — Groin area fungal rash with itching
• Athlete's foot (Tinea pedis) — Fungal infection between toes
• Pityriasis versicolor — Malassezia causing discolored skin patches
• Cutaneous candidiasis — Candida in skin folds

Continue full course even after symptoms improve to prevent recurrence. Consult a pharmacist if no improvement within 1 week.

Dosage: Adults/children 13+: Apply thinly twice daily (morning and evening).

Duration: Body/groin: max 2 weeks. Feet: max 4 weeks.

Steps:

1. Clean and dry the area
2. Apply a thin layer covering the lesion + 1 cm surrounding skin
3. Wash hands after application

Important: No occlusive dressings. Children 2-12: consult a doctor. After inflammation resolves, may switch to antifungal-only cream.

Common: Burning, itching, irritation at site (usually temporary), dry skin

With prolonged use (beyond 2 weeks): Skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, steroid acne, fungal resistance

Stop and seek help if: Severe allergic reaction, difficulty breathing, facial swelling, or spreading infection

Does not cause drowsiness — external use only with minimal absorption.

Do not use: Allergy to Clotrimazole/Betamethasone, viral skin infections (herpes, shingles), acne, rosacea, children under 2

Precautions:

• Max 2 weeks (body/groin) or 4 weeks (feet)
• Avoid prolonged use on face, axillae, groin
• No occlusive dressings

Pregnancy/breastfeeding: Consult a doctor. Not recommended in first trimester.

Myda-B vs other dermatitis treatments at Intimo Life:

• Myda-B (Clotrimazole + Betamethasone): Antifungal + steroid for inflammatory fungal infections (ringworm, jock itch). Max 2-4 weeks
• Elomet Cream (Mometasone 0.1%): Steroid only, no antifungal. For eczema, psoriasis, non-fungal dermatitis. Once daily

Summary: Myda-B for suspected fungal involvement. Elomet for non-fungal inflammatory skin conditions.

Minimal drug interactions as a topical product:

• Other topical steroids — Do not layer to avoid excessive Betamethasone absorption
• Oral antifungals — Can be used together if pharmacist recommends
• Moisturizers — Wait 10-15 minutes after Myda-B before applying

Betamethasone reduces itching and redness within 30-60 minutes. Clotrimazole starts killing fungi immediately but requires 1-2 weeks of continuous use for complete eradication.

Complete the full course even after symptoms improve to prevent fungal recurrence.
