3. Who can and cannot use clotrimazole
Clotrimazole cream, spray and solution can be used by most adults and children.
Clotrimazole is not suitable for everyone. To make sure it's safe for you, tell a doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to clotrimazole or any other medicines in the past.
How and when to use clotrimazole:
How long you use clotrimazole for depends on the type of infection you have.
It's best to use it for at least 2 weeks, even if all signs of the infection have gone, to stop it from coming back. It can be used for up to 4 weeks if needed.
Apply clotrimazole to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day. It will work better if you use it 3 times a day.
If the affected area is large or hairy, it's best to use either the spray or solution.
