Adults:
Clotrimazole Cream: Apply a thin layer to the infected areas two to three times daily and rub it in gently. Because it works so well, only a small amount of cream is usually needed to cover an area about the size of the palm. Using Clotrimazole Cream reliably and for a long enough period is important for the treatment to succeed fully. How long treatment is needed varies, depending among other things on how widespread the infection is and where it is located. Recommended treatment duration is about 3 to 4 weeks for dermatomycoses, 1 to 2 weeks for candida vulvitis and candida balanitis, and about 3 weeks for erythrasma and pityriasis versicolor. For fungal infections of the feet, treatment should be continued for about 2 weeks after all signs of the disease have disappeared, to prevent it from returning. After washing, the feet should be dried thoroughly, especially between the toes. Clotrimazole Cream is odorless, washes off easily and does not stain clothing. Clotrimazole topical solution: Apply this sparingly to the affected areas and rub it in gently, two or three times daily.
Side Effects
Well tolerated when used on the skin, Clotzol does not produce systemic effects with topical use. A small number of patients notice mild local irritation or a burning sensation, but this is minor and not considered harmful.
