Should I use clotrimazole cream or pessaries?
Clotrimazole is available in both cream and pessary form and the one you should use will depend on your specific circumstances.
If you have vaginal thrush, you have the option of using either a pessary or the cream, but generally speaking, every other fungal infection you can use clotrimazole for will be better treated with cream.
Is clotrimazole available over the counter in the UK?
Yes, clotrimazole is available to buy over the counter in UK pharmacies.
However, you will need to answer a few questions from your pharmacist before you can make your purchase.
These questions help the pharmacy team to be sure that clotrimazole is the right treatment for your condition or whether another option may be better suited to you.
Does Clotrimazole have side effects?
Clotrimazole can have side effects, just like any other medication, although not everyone will experience them. Some of the most common side effects of clotrimazole include:
- Itching
- Rash
- Swelling
- Discomfort
- Irritation of the skin
For a full list of side effects, make sure that you read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medication carefully, as they may differ slightly from product to product.
If you experience any side effects while using this medication, stop use and speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away.
Can I use clotrimazole and fluconazole together?
Yes, you can use clotrimazole and fluconazole at the same time to treat fungal infections like thrush.
These medications work well together as a two-pronged treatment for fungal infections, especially in cases of thrush.
You can buy fluconazole and clotrimazole together in products like Canesten Duo or buy them separately over the counter to save some money.
