Therapeutic Category

• Clotrimazole is an azole antifungal agent that has been used topically to treat infections of susceptible fungi.

Key Uses / Indications

Clotrimazole vaginal tablets could be used for:

• Vaginal candidiasis
• Thrush in the vagina, which is due to a susceptible Candida species
• Symptoms of fungal infections include itchiness, irritation, and/or unusual discharge from the vagina.
• A vaginal pessary containing clotrimazole is only used for vaginal thrush.

Dosage Form

Vaginal Tablet / Pessary

This form of medicine is done with the assistance of the vagina and not to be consumed orally.

How It Works?

Clotrimazole works against susceptible fungi by disruption of the fungal cell membrane. It blocks ergosterol synthesis—one of the key steps in making the cell membranes of fungi. Damage to the membrane interferes with the development of fungi and their survival.

This local action against fungus can be employed to combat vaginal fungus (Candida infection) and slowly ease some symptoms involving itching, irritation, and vaginal discharge.

Important Precautions

• Clotrimazole vaginal tablets should be used according to the product instructions or healthcare professional’s advice. They should be used in the vagina and not swallowed.
• If the symptoms are getting worse, worse again, or failing to clear up, the patient should get medical advice. Medical assessment of symptoms is recommended when symptoms persist or a patient suffers from repeated thrush, as recommended by NHS guidance.
• Discuss during pregnancy. Some users may experience vaginal irritation, a burning sensation, feel pain, or pass urine and get pelvic discomfort or discharge. Severe allergic reactions are rare but do need immediate treatment.
• There are certain vaginal preparations of clotrimazole that may change the properties of latex condoms or diaphragms, making them less effective. Check the product information specific to the patient.

Storage

• Keep out of the way: store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep in the original packaging.
• Store out of the reach of children.
• Use the approved product label, following the temperature directions.
