Description
Main indications
- Vaginal yeast infection (vaginitis): Inflammation of the vagina due to fungi.
- Vulvitis and balanitis: Inflammation of the vulva or the glans, also caused by yeasts.
- Bacterial superinfections: Can be used against certain bacteria susceptible to clotrimazole.
How it works
- Clotrimazole prevents the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, which kills them.
How to use it
- Application: After careful intimate washing and drying, apply a thin layer to the infected area.
- Frequency: Usually once or twice a day, or as directed by the doctor.
- Duration: Often 3 days for vaginal infections, but up to 7 days for other skin infections.
- Important: Always follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s advice. See a doctor if symptoms persist after treatment.
