Clotrimazole and betamethasone over the counter?

In the United States, the combination product clotrimazole 1% with betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% (often sold as Lotrisone) is prescription-only. It’s not available OTC there.

OTC options you can buy without a prescription include:
- Clotrimazole 1% creams/solutions for fungal infections (athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch).
- Hydrocortisone 1% cream for itching/inflammation (not antifungal) but not for treating fungal infections.

Notes:
- The steroid in the combo can thin skin and cause other side effects, especially with long use or on the face, in the diaper area, or over large areas. Use steroids only as directed.
- If symptoms persist after 1–2 weeks of an OTC antifungal, or if you have diabetes, are immunocompromised, or are treating a new/unclear infection, see a clinician.
- If you’re outside the US, OTC status may differ by country. Tell me your country and I can give more precise guidance.

If you want, tell me your location and the exact symptoms you’re seeing (area affected, duration, any redness, blistering, or oozing), and I can tailor the advice.
