Brief Answer:
It is an anti- fungal medicine

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for posting your query

I have read through your query and if your wife was diagnosed with jock itch, then I would suggest you to take any anti- fungal ointments like miconazole or clotrimazole. These are anti- fungal medicines and do not contain any steroids, though some brands do have combinations.

You may consider using CIPLA/ CADILA/ RANBAXY, as these are equally successful brands available in XXXXXXX You may also ask for Candid cream which has proved effective for many.

Hope this helps
