Clindamycin

An antibiotic that fights against bacteria causing infections.

Clotrimazole

An antifungal medication that works against fungal infections.

Treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in women, often accompanied by a yeast infection.

Treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (yeast infection) in women, sometimes in combination with a bacterial infection.

Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, effectively killing bacteria. Clotrimazole disrupts the fungal cell membrane, leading to fungal cell death. This combination treats both bacterial and fungal infections that commonly co-occur.
