Key Product Information

• Formulation: Clotrimazole comes as a cream or a tablet (pessary) inserted into the vagina, sometimes with an external cream for the surrounding area. Applicators are usually included for easy and hygienic insertion.
• Usage: It is primarily used to treat vaginal yeast infections (vaginal candidiasis) by stopping the growth of the fungus causing the infection.
• Dosage: Treatment courses vary by product, typically lasting for 1, 3, or 7 days. It's recommended to apply the cream at bedtime for the best results.
• Precautions: Do not have vaginal intercourse or use products like tampons or douches during treatment, as they can interfere with the medication. The cream can also damage condoms and diaphragms, reducing their effectiveness.
• When to Consult a Doctor: If this is your first yeast infection, or if symptoms do not improve within three days or persist after seven days, consult a healthcare provider. 

How To Use

Aftercare

• External Treatment: If you have external itching, apply a small amount of cream to the skin around the vagina with your finger.
• Cleaning:
  • Disposable: Throw away single-use applicators.
  • Reusable: Pull the pieces apart and wash them with warm, soapy water after each use.
• Protect Clothing: You may wish to wear a panty liner to collect any leakage and protect your clothing, but do not use tampons, as they can absorb the medicine.
• Wash Hands: Clean your hands again immediately after use to prevent spreading the infection
