FAQs
Answers to popular questions about Clotrimazole
What is Clotrimazole?
Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal medication widely available in the UK for treating fungal skin, nail, and vaginal infections. It is available as a cream (1%), pessary (100 mg, 200 mg, 500 mg), vaginal cream, solution, and spray. Common brand names include Canesten. Clotrimazole is available over the counter from pharmacies for many indications, including thrush (vaginal candidiasis), athlete’s foot, ringworm, and fungal nappy rash. It is one of the most commonly used antifungal treatments in the UK.
What is Clotrimazole used for?
Clotrimazole is used for a wide range of fungal infections including vaginal thrush (candidal vulvovaginitis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), jock itch (tinea cruris), fungal nappy rash, oral thrush (as a topical preparation), fungal nail infections (mild), and intertrigo (fungal infection in skin folds). It is effective against dermatophytes, yeasts (including Candida species), and moulds.
How does Clotrimazole work?
Clotrimazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. It blocks the enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51), disrupting the production of ergosterol. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes permeable and unstable, leading to leakage of cell contents and death of the fungal cell. At standard concentrations, clotrimazole is fungistatic (prevents growth) and at higher concentrations it becomes fungicidal (kills fungi).
How do I use Clotrimazole cream for skin infections?
Apply clotrimazole 1% cream thinly to the affected area two to three times daily, gently rubbing it in. Continue treatment for at least 2 weeks for athlete’s foot and ringworm, and for at least 2 weeks after all symptoms have cleared to prevent recurrence. Keep the affected area clean and dry. For athlete’s foot, pay particular attention to drying between the toes thoroughly. Wash your hands after application.
How do I use Clotrimazole for vaginal thrush?
For vaginal thrush, options include: a single clotrimazole 500 mg pessary inserted vaginally at bedtime; one 200 mg pessary at bedtime for 3 consecutive nights; or clotrimazole vaginal cream (10%) as a single dose. An external clotrimazole 2% cream can also be applied to the vulval area twice daily for symptomatic relief of external itching and soreness. Pessaries should be inserted as high into the vagina as comfortable, preferably at bedtime.
What are the side effects of Clotrimazole?
Clotrimazole is generally very well-tolerated. Uncommon side effects from topical use include local irritation, burning, stinging, redness, and itching at the application site. Allergic reactions are rare. Vaginal pessaries may cause mild vaginal irritation or increased discharge. If symptoms worsen or do not improve within 7 days, consult a pharmacist or doctor as the infection may not be fungal.
Can I use Clotrimazole during pregnancy?
Clotrimazole is considered safe to use during pregnancy for vaginal thrush. It is the treatment of choice for thrush in pregnant women. However, during pregnancy, the oral fluconazole tablet should be avoided. When using a pessary during pregnancy, insert it with your fingers rather than using an applicator to avoid any risk of cervical trauma. Always consult your midwife or doctor if you are unsure.
Does Clotrimazole affect condoms?
Yes, clotrimazole pessaries and vaginal cream can damage latex condoms and diaphragms, making them less effective as contraception. You should use alternative contraception or avoid sexual intercourse during treatment and for at least 5 days after completing vaginal clotrimazole treatment. This applies to all oil-based vaginal preparations. Polyisoprene or non-latex condoms may be less affected but caution is still advised.
