Product Information

Full details

Clotrimazole 1% Cream is designed for adults and children experiencing common fungal skin infections like athlete's foot, ringworm, and sweat rash, offering effective relief from associated irritation. While it works by disrupting fungal cell membranes, a potential drawback is that it may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives. This 50g cream provides a smooth, easy-to-apply solution that targets the root cause of infections, with noticeable symptom improvement within days when used consistently.

FAQs

How long should I use Clotrimazole 1% Cream?

For candida infections, use for at least two weeks. For other fungal infections like athlete's foot or ringworm, continue treatment for at least one month. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve sooner, to prevent the infection from returning.

Can I use this cream during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Clotrimazole 1% Cream is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but only if advised by your doctor or midwife. Always consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Can children use this cream?

Yes, Clotrimazole 1% Cream is suitable for use by children, including for the treatment of fungal nappy rash. Always follow the general application instructions.

Does this cream interact with contraceptives?

Yes, this cream may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives such as condoms or diaphragms. It is recommended to use alternative contraceptive precautions for at least 5 days after you stop using the cream.

What are the signs that the treatment is working?

When used regularly and as directed, you should begin to see an improvement in symptoms such as itching, soreness, and redness within a few days of starting treatment. However, full resolution of the infection may take longer.

Can I use this cream on broken skin?

The cream is intended for application on affected skin. Avoid applying to severely damaged or broken skin without consulting a healthcare professional. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application.

Troubleshooting

Skin irritation or allergic reaction occurs after application.

Discontinue use immediately and rinse the affected area with water. Seek medical advice if irritation is severe or persists. Do not use if you have a known allergy to clotrimazole or any other ingredients in the cream.

Infection does not improve after recommended treatment duration.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist. The infection may require a different treatment or diagnosis. Ensure you have followed the application instructions correctly.

Cream seems to be less effective or symptoms return quickly.

Ensure you are applying the cream consistently as directed (2-3 times daily) and for the full recommended duration (at least 2 weeks for candida, 1 month for others). For athlete's foot, consider using an antifungal dusting powder alongside the cream, as recommended by a pharmacist.
