Clotrimazole does appear in the INCI dictionary but according to the CFR its approved for animals. Says nothing about people. Its activity may be limited. 21 CFR PART 524 OPHTHALMIC AND TOPICAL DOSAGE FORM NEW ANIMAL DRUGS (a) Specifications. Each gram of cream contains 10 milligrams of clotrimazole. ( Sponsor. See 000859 in Sec. 510.600©. © Conditions of use (1) Amount. Apply \1/4\-inch ribbon of cream per square inch of lesion once daily for 2 to 4 weeks. (2) Indications of use. For the treatment of fungal infections of dogs and cats caused by Microsporum canis and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. (3) Limitations. Wash hands thoroughly after use to avoid spread of infection. Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Maurice ------------------------ Maurice O.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 Hi Dave Are you looking for an antifungal preservative or for an antifungal agent to be applied topically? If the second, then whatever you use will be virtually ineffective in a wash off product, much as foot powders are, for that matter! Can't help with the first... Benzoic acid is quite effective against tinea, as is salicylic acid. Clotrimazole, and the other imidazoles (econazole, miconazole and sulcanazole) are as well, and are also used for candidiasis. Tolnaftate and the undecenoates are often used for athletes foot, but probably are not so effective. Nystatin is effective against candidiasis, but not not against tineas. What about neem? There should be some good supporting literature about it somewhere...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 Thanks for that Rose, and Maurice and Risa also. I realise fungicides tend to need a long application time, and will make it well aware to the customer. I have made a 1% sulfur/1% salicylic acid soap, and a 0.1% benzoic acid/0.2% salicylic acid soap at the request of the customer. Might suggest Neem, I have a bottle of that somewhere.
