CLOZOL 2% VAGINAL CREAM 1 30 G AL TUBE WITH 6 DISPOSABLE APPLICATORS

Name
CLOZOL 2% vaginal cream
Clotrimazole


What is it and what is it for?
CLOZOL contains clotrimazole, an antifungal that inhibits the growth of fungi.

CLOZOL is used in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age to treat localized symptoms resulting from previously diagnosed candidiasis infections of the vulvovaginal and glans penis. These symptoms include itching, leukorrhea (white vaginal discharge), redness and swelling of the vaginal mucosa and glans penis, and burning when urinating.

Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 7 days of treatment.


What you need to know before taking the medicine

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using CLOZOL if:
- has already suffered from the same problems, less than 2 months ago;
- has fever, lower abdominal pain, back pain, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, nausea, vaginal bleeding, and/or shoulder pain.

The use of topical products (applied to the skin), especially if prolonged, can cause sensitization (increased sensitivity); in this case, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
