Clotrimaderm

To treat diaper rash for children, apply a thin layer and gently massage enough cream onto the affected and surrounding skin area twice daily at a diaper change, in the morning and evening. Only use Clotrimaderm (Clotrimazole) for treating diaper rash that has been diagnosed by your doctor. If symptoms worsen or if there is no improvement after 2 weeks, contact your doctor. Do not use Clotrimaderm (Clotrimazole) cream for longer than 14 days.

To treat jock itch, athlete's foot, and ringworm for adults, apply a thin layer of cream and gently massage it into the affected and surrounding skin area twice daily, in the morning and evening. Improvement in the itching should be seen within the first week. For jock itch and ringworm, treatment should be continued for 2 to 4 weeks. For athlete's foot, treatment may be needed for at least 4 weeks.

For foot infections, make sure you dry your feet thoroughly (especially between the toes) and wear well-fitted, ventilated shoes and cotton or wool socks to improve treatment results and prevent repeat infections. Treatment with Clotrimaderm (Clotrimazole) topical cream should continue for about 2 weeks after your symptoms have disappeared. This will help to prevent relapses.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

Avoid contact with the eyes. If this happens, rinse thoroughly with water.

If your symptoms have not disappeared or improved after 2 weeks of treatment (up to 4 weeks for athlete's foot), or if your symptoms worsen, contact your doctor.

It is important to apply Clotrimaderm (Clotrimazole) exactly as prescribed by your doctor or recommended by your pharmacist. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Clotrimaderm (Clotrimazole) at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
