Clotrimazole is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, and fungal sweat rash. It is also used to relieve irritation of the vulva (external thrush) or the end of the penis, which may be associated with thrush. Please note that it cannot be used for a nappy rash. This pack includes 3 x 20g tubes.

Fluconazole Capsules are a form of treatment that helps to provide relief for fungal conditions such as thrush. It belongs to a class of drugs called azole antifungals and works by stopping the growth of certain types of fungus. This means that Fluconazole eases thrush by targeting the source of infection, working quickly and effectively to provide relief.

When Clotrimazole is applied to the infected area of skin it works by destroying the fungus or yeast which has caused the infection. Fluconazole destroys the infection by going straight to the source of the fungus. 

Side Effects:

Clotrimazole is not known to interact with any other medicines. As with other creams, Clotrimazole may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, such as condoms or diaphragms. Consequently, if you are using this cream on the vulva or penis, you should use alternative precautions for at least five days after using this product.

Like all medicines, Fluconazole can have side effects, although not everybody will get them. Stop using this product and seek medical advice immediately if you experience any symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, which include:

• Wheezing, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest
• Swelling of the face, throat, eyelids, or lips
• Itching, redness of the skin, itchy red spots
• Skin rash
• Severe skin reactions, such as rashes that cause blistering that can affect the mouth and tongue
• Signs of liver problems, e.g. tiredness, loss of appetite, vomiting, yellowing of skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice)
• Signs of adrenal problems, e.g. tiredness, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, abdominal pain
• A headache
• Stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, vomiting, feeling sick
• Increase in blood tests of liver function
• Rash

For Clotrimazole, the method of use is as follows:

• Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press
• If the feet are infected, they should be washed and dried thoroughly, especially between the toes, before applying the cream.
• Clotrimazole should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected areas, two or three times daily and rubbed gently.
• A strip of cream (1/2 cm long) is enough to treat an area of about the size of the hand.
• The duration of the treatment depends upon the type of infection. Use the cream for at least two weeks for candida (thrush) infections or at least one month for other infections.
• If you have athlete’s foot, it may help to use an antifungal dusting powder as well. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend one.

The symptoms of skin infection such as itching or soreness should improve within a few days of treatment although signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
