Immune system disorders: allergic reaction (syncope, hypotension, dyspnoea, urticaria). Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: blisters, discomfort / pain, edema, erythema, irritation, peeling, itching, rash, burning.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

There is a limited amount of data on the use of clotrimazole in pregnancy. Animal studies do not show any direct or indirect harmful effects in terms of reproductive toxicity. As a precautionary measure, the use of clotrimazole in the first trimester of pregnancy should be avoided.

Available pharmacodynamic / toxicological data in animals have demonstrated secretion of clotrimazole / metabolites in milk. Breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment with clotrimazole.

Special warnings

Avoid contact with eyes. Do not swallow.

The use, especially if prolonged, of products for topical use can give rise to sensitization phenomena. In case of hypersensitivity reactions it is necessary to interrupt the treatment, consult the doctor or pharmacist and institute a suitable therapy. In diaper dermatitis, the use of diapers with an “occlusive” effect is not recommended after applying the cream. In case of relapses consult your doctor. After three - four weeks of continuous use without noticeable results, consult your doctor.

To avoid relapses, very common in mycosis, it is good to inform the patient that he must observe some elementary hygiene rules: frequent change of underwear; towels and their chemical or thermal disinfection; avoid promiscuity of clothes and linen.
