Treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (vaginal yeast/fungal infection) including symptoms such as itching, burning, redness and abnormal discharge due to Candida species.
How It Works
Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This increases membrane permeability leading to leakage of cellular contents and death of the fungus.
Directions for Use
For intravaginal use only. Insert 1 vaginal tablet high into the vagina once daily at bedtime for 6 consecutive nights (or as prescribed). Use with the applicator if provided; wash hands before and after use. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve; avoid use during menstruation if possible and consult doctor if symptoms persist.
Not for oral use. Do not use if allergic to clotrimazole/imidazoles. Consult a doctor before use if pregnant, if this is the first vaginal infection, if symptoms recur frequently (e.g., ≥2 episodes in 6 months), or if there is fever, foul-smelling discharge, lower abdominal pain, genital ulcers or bleeding. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment; clotrimazole may weaken latex condoms/diaphragms—use alternative contraception for several days after treatment. Seek medical advice if no improvement in 3 days or not resolved in 7 days.

Drug Interactions
