Clotrimazole


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

VAGISIL ANTIFUNGAL 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, and burning when urinating.

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