Clotrimaderm Vaginal 6 (clotrimazole) is indicated for the 6-day treatment of vaginal candidiasis.
Clotrimaderm Vaginal 3 (clotrimazole) is indicated for the 3-day treatment of vaginal candidiasis.
Clotrimaderm External Cream (Clotrimazole Cream 1%) is indicated for the topical treatment of external irritation caused by vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Vaginal Candidiasis may be accompanied by irritation in the vaginal area. Therefore, concomitant local treatment with Clotrimaderm Vaginal cream (or Clotrimazole External Cream) applied to the irritated vaginal area and as far as the anal region twice a day is advisable. Clotrimazole External Cream (or Clotrimazole Vaginal cream) applied on the glans penis may prevent re-infection by the partner.
N.B.: The cream should be inserted deep intravaginally by means of the applicator (See PRECAUTIONS). The plunger should then be depressed slowly.
General hygienic measures such as twice daily tub baths and avoidance of tight underclothing are important in vaginal infections.
Clotrimaderm Vaginal 6: The recommended daily dose is ONE full applicator intravaginally for SIX consecutive days, preferably at bedtime.
Clotrimaderm Vaginal 3: The recommended daily dose is ONE full applicator intravaginally for THREE consecutive days, preferably at bedtime.
Clotrimaderm External Cream: The cream should be spread onto the irritated area once or twice daily as needed, for up to seven consecutive days.
For management of a suspected drug overdose, contact your regional Poison Control Centre.
Clotrimaderm Vaginal 6, Clotrimaderm Vaginal 3, and Clotrimaderm External Cream must be stored at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C.
