The active substance clotrimazole, which belongs to a group of medications called imidazoles. Clotrimazole is an antifungal agent that targets and combats the underlying cause of fungal skin infections.

The primary purpose of clotrimazole is to treat various fungal skin infections, including ringworm, athlete's foot, fungal nappy rash, and fungal sweat rash. It is also effective in relieving irritation in the external genital area (vulva) or the tip of the penis associated with thrush.

When clotrimazole cream is applied to the infected area of the skin, it works by eliminating the fungus or yeast responsible for the infection. It disrupts their growth and effectively destroys them, helping to resolve the fungal infection.

Warnings

Do not use Clotrimazole:

  • If you (or your baby if treating nappy rash) are allergic to clotrimazole or any of the other
    ingredients of this medicine


Warnings and precautions

  • Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Clotrimazole if you have used a cream containing
    clotrimazole or a similar medicine before and suffered an allergic or unpleasant skin reaction. This
    may have been a skin rash or itching in the area the cream was applied.
  • Do not smoke or go near naked flames - risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it.

For External Use Only

 

Directions

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told
you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
If you purchased this product without a prescription, follow these directions closely.

  • Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press.
  • Area should be washed and dried thoroughly before applying the cream.
  • Clotrimazole should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected areas, two or three times daily
    and rubbed in gently.
  • A strip of cream (½ cm long) is enough to treat an area of about the size of the hand.
  • The duration of the treatment depends upon the type of infection. 

The symptoms of skin infection such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of
treatment although signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. If symptoms
persist, consult your doctor.

The active substance is clotrimazole. Each gram of cream contains 10 mg of clotrimazole (i.e. 1% w/w).
The other ingredients are benzyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax, cetostearyl alcohol, octyldodecanol, sorbitan monostearate and purified water.

Side Effects

As with all medicines, some people may be allergic to the cream. If you or your baby are allergic, a
reaction will occur soon after you start using it. If you or your baby experience an allergic reaction,
stop using Clotrimazole and tell your doctor straight away or contact the Accident and Emergency
Department of your nearest hospital. Signs of an allergic reaction may include:

  • Rash
  • Swallowing or breathing problems
  • Swelling of the lips, face, throat or tongue
