📖 Clotrimazole: Patient Information Guide
A plain-language walkthrough of Clotrimazole — what it treats, how it works, how it’s taken, side effects, warnings and interactions. Tap any section to expand it.
🎯What it's used for▾
Clotrimazole is used across several product forms to treat fungal infections of the skin, ear canal, and vagina.
- Skin infections (topical creams, ointments, solutions, sprays): athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm — not effective on the scalp or nails
- CLOTIC (clotrimazole) otic solution — ear only: fungal ear canal infections (otomycosis) caused by Aspergillus or Candida species in adults 18+ with intact eardrums
- Vaginal clotrimazole cream: treats vaginal yeast infections and relieves external vaginal itching and irritation due to a yeast infection
- Alevazol ointment: also indicated for Candida albicans skin infections
⚙️How it works▾
Clotrimazole is an azole antifungal. It targets the fungal cell directly — causing essential compounds to leak out, breaking down the cell's nucleic acids (genetic material), and disrupting potassium balance inside the cell. This stops the fungus from growing and, at sufficient concentrations, kills it. It is active against a broad range of fungi, including Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton, and Candida species.
Resistance to clotrimazole is rare. No step-wise resistance has been observed in Candida albicans or Trichophyton mentagrophytes with repeated exposure, making it reliably effective for the conditions it's approved to treat.
💊How it's taken▾
How and how often you use clotrimazole depends on the specific product.
- Topical creams, ointments, solutions, and sprays: apply to clean, dry skin twice daily (morning and night); use for 4 weeks for athlete's foot and ringworm, or 2 weeks for jock itch
- CLOTIC ear drops: instill one single-dose vial into the affected ear canal twice daily, about 12 hours apart, for 14 consecutive days
- Vaginal cream: insert one applicatorful into the vagina at bedtime for 3 days in a row; a small amount may also be applied externally twice daily for up to 7 days for itching and irritation
Always complete the full treatment course. If your symptoms do not improve within a few days or persist beyond the recommended period, contact your doctor.
🤒Side effects — in detail▾
Side effects depend on the form used, but most people tolerate clotrimazole well.
- Headache (reported with CLOTIC ear drops)
- Pain or discomfort at the site of application (CLOTIC ear drops)
- Ringing in the ears / tinnitus (CLOTIC ear drops)
- Tingling or abnormal skin sensations — called paresthesia (CLOTIC ear drops)
- Mild vaginal burning, itching, or irritation (vaginal cream)
Seek medical attention right away if you develop a rash, hives, fever, chills, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or foul-smelling discharge — these may signal a more serious problem that needs different treatment.
⚠️Warnings & precautions▾
- Vaginal cream only: use only for a confirmed vaginal yeast infection. Symptoms like fever, lower abdominal pain, or foul-smelling discharge can mean something more serious is going on.
- Vaginal cream: may damage latex condoms and diaphragms — do not rely on them for contraception or STI protection while using this product.
- CLOTIC ear drops: do not use if your eardrum is perforated (has a hole). CLOTIC has only been studied in people with intact eardrums.
- Allergy: do not use clotrimazole if you are allergic to it. Stop use immediately and seek help if you have signs of a severe reaction.
- Topical and vaginal forms: not for use on the scalp or nails. Children under 12 should use topical products only under a doctor's direction.
🔀What it interacts with▾
Clotrimazole has very few known drug interactions at the doses used topically, in the ear, or vaginally.
- Condoms and diaphragms: vaginal clotrimazole cream can weaken latex, reducing their ability to prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections — use an alternative form of protection during treatment
- Nystatin, amphotericin B, flucytosine: no confirmed synergy or antagonism with clotrimazole against Candida has been reported in the label
This is not a complete list of interactions. Always talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.
📋Before taking it▾
- Allergy to clotrimazole: do not use — this is an absolute contraindication for CLOTIC
- Perforated eardrum: do not use CLOTIC ear drops if your eardrum has a hole in it
- Children under 18: CLOTIC ear drops are not approved for this age group; topical products vary by product — check the specific label
- First-time vaginal yeast infection: see a doctor first before using vaginal cream
- Frequent yeast infections: tell your doctor if you get them often — this may point to an underlying condition like diabetes or immune system issues
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: systemic absorption from topical or otic use is minimal, but ask a health professional before using any clotrimazole product while pregnant or breastfeeding
- Older adults (65+): no significant differences in safety or effectiveness have been seen with CLOTIC, but individual sensitivity may vary
🚑If you take too much▾
An overdose from applying too much clotrimazole to the skin or ear is very unlikely to cause a life-threatening situation. If someone accidentally swallows a topical or otic clotrimazole product, contact a Poison Control Center or seek medical help right away.
📡Pharmacodynamics — effects in the body▾
The exact relationship between clotrimazole blood levels and its antifungal effect is not fully understood — the exposure-response relationship and the time course of its pharmacodynamic effect have not been established according to the CLOTIC label. What is known is that it works primarily against actively dividing and growing fungal organisms, and can both slow fungal growth (fungistatic) and kill fungi outright (fungicidal) depending on concentration.
🔬Pharmacokinetics — how your body processes it▾
When applied to the skin or administered in the ear, clotrimazole is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream. Studies with topical cream and solution found measurable concentrations in the upper layers of the skin but essentially no detectable drug in the blood. Similarly, systemic absorption following otic (ear) use of CLOTIC is expected to be minimal. Vaginal administration also results in very low blood levels. Clotrimazole is well absorbed when taken by mouth and is eliminated mainly as inactive metabolites.

📈 How widely Clotrimazole is used
A general measure of how commonly Clotrimazole is prescribed, based on Medicaid — one of the largest public drug programs. The figure below is prescriptions filled in Q1–Q4 2025, summed across every form and brand of the drug.
Think of this as a proxy for how widely Clotrimazole is used, drawn from freely available public data. Medicaid is just one program — these numbers don’t include Medicare, other government coverage, or commercial and cash-pay prescriptions, so real-world use is higher than what’s shown here.
How commonly is Clotrimazole prescribed? Of the 1,596 medications we measure, Clotrimazole ranks #159 by Medicaid prescriptions — more than 90% of them.

clotrimazole 0.01 MG/MG Topical Ointment
Summed across the 1 of 29 listed NDC products with Medicaid activity — every brand and generic of this exact strength & form. RxNorm 418475
Shares are of the Medicaid prescriptions shown here. Product grouping follows RxNorm (the National Library of Medicine’s drug terminology), so “one product” means one strength & dosage form regardless of manufacturer. Dollar figures are gross Medicaid reimbursement before mandatory rebates — rebates (often large, especially for brand-name drugs) are confidential, so actual net cost to Medicaid is lower than shown.
Source: Medicaid State Drug Utilization Data (CMS), aggregated by generic ingredient — summed across every NDC (all brands, strengths, salt forms and dosage forms) of Clotrimazole, and across all states and both fee-for-service and managed-care claims. A general popularity signal; it excludes Medicare, commercial insurance and cash prescriptions, so it is not total U.S. use. Based on the 51 of 350 listed Clotrimazole NDCs with Medicaid activity.

A representative set of FDA-listed product records for Clotrimazole — across manufacturers, strengths, and dosage forms, grouped by form with each product’s manufacturer and how the FDA approved it. The same medicine may be made and packaged by different companies, so a single drug can have many directory entries. (It’s also why a refill can look different — a new shape, color, or box — even though it contains the same medication.)

📈 What people report — real-world data (FDA FAERS)
After a medicine reaches the market, patients, doctors and drugmakers can send the FDA reports of problems they think may be linked to it. Here’s what’s been reported for Clotrimazole — a signal of what to watch for, not proof the drug caused it.
Source: openFDA, from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). These are voluntary reports — they don’t prove the drug caused the effect, and counts reflect how often something was reported, not how often it actually happens. Reports also often name the very problem the medicine is taken for — a common reason to file one is that the drug didn’t help — so for a pain reliever you may see “pain” high on the list; that points to why the report was filed, not to the drug causing the symptom. This counts every report that lists Clotrimazole in any role, so the total runs higher than the FDA’s official dashboard, which counts only cases where the drug is the suspect. For the authoritative figures, see the FDA FAERS Public Dashboard. Always talk to your pharmacist or doctor.

🚨 Recall history
A recall is when a specific batch of a medicine is pulled from the market — usually a manufacturing issue, not a problem with the drug itself. Class I is most serious, Class III least.

RxNorm is the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s normalized drug vocabulary. Its concept hierarchy can include forms that are not currently marketed; the status on each branch compares that concept with current FDA listings. RxCUIs identify vocabulary concepts, not individual packages or manufacturers.

🔬 Where this comes from
Core label, product, RxNorm, safety, and utilization data on this page come from the sources identified below. AI-written, editorial, and licensed sections are labeled separately.
How we combine label and product data
HelloPharmacist combines public FDA and NLM records; we don’t author the underlying clinical facts. We identified 220 FDA-filed SPL label sets within the page’s selected clinical scope after exact ingredient or ingredient-combination matching and applicable route/form matching. The representative label is the starting point for the displayed reference monograph; the 12 largest stored in-scope SPL records, which may include that representative, are compared section by section, and the longest available version of each section is retained. Forms, routes, brands, labelers, product-listed strengths, and product-record counts are aggregated separately from ingredient-matched FDA NDC Directory records; package records listed above are associated with the linked SPL; and the normalized concept hierarchy comes from NLM RxNorm.
For canonical ingredient pages, bounded product-attributed indication and administration excerpts may be added to the AI evidence, and the generator is instructed to preserve available product, brand, route, and form qualifiers instead of treating one label as universal. Where a section is identified as AI-written, its plain-language text is generated from bounded label evidence. New draft drug pages remain in the admin review queue before first publication. Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. is the representative DailyMed label linked for verification and dates; it is not the sole source used for the page.
This is general education, not medical advice — always consult your doctor or pharmacist about your medications and any medical condition. For the exact wording of the linked representative label, view that label on DailyMed; some displayed composite sections may come from other in-scope SPL labels.
