pharmachologic effect

Broad-spectrum antifungal drug for topical use, an imidazole derivative. The antimycotic effect is associated with a violation of the synthesis of ergosterol, which is part of the cell membrane of fungi, which causes a change in its structure and properties and leads to cell lysis. Dermatophytes, yeast-like fungi (genus Candida, Torulopsis glabrata, Rhodotorula), mold fungi, as well as the causative agent of pityriasis versicolor and the causative agent of erythrasma are sensitive to clotrimazole. It has an antimicrobial effect against gram-positive (staphylococci and streptococci) and gram-negative bacteria (Bacteroides, Gardnerella vaginalis), as well as against Trichomonas vaginalis. When clotrimazole is applied topically, absorption of clotrimazole from the mucous membranes is negligible.

Side effect

The drug is usually well tolerated. In rare cases, with hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, allergic reactions are noted - redness of the oral mucosa, a burning sensation and tingling sensation at the site of application of the drug, urticaria. If irritation occurs, the drug must be canceled.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

special instructions

Overdose

Drug interactions
