The Bottom Line
The Perrigo Clotrimazole Antifungal Cream USP proves to be a safe and affordable treatment for fungal infections. Unfortunately, it does not offer the level of effectiveness that one would need. Yes, it does help treat fungal infections but it will be a slow process. There are other, more effective and fast acting products out there that you can try out.
