Clotrimazole (vaginal) is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat vaginal candida infections. It can be used to treat symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning, and odor. Clotrimazole is a topical antifungal drug that can effectively kill or inhibit the growth of Candida and help restore the normal balance of vaginal flora. Follow the advice of your doctor or pharmacist for the correct dosage and frequency of use. During use, sexual intercourse should be avoided and protective gloves should be used to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medicine. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor promptly. During use, local irritation or allergic reactions may occur, such as itching, burning or redness, etc. You should stop using it immediately and seek medical advice. Clotrimazole is usually available over-the-counter, but caution should be used to avoid extending the duration of use or increasing the dose on your own.
How to use: Apply clotrimazole ointment into the vagina, using the included applicator to ensure even distribution of the medication.

Dosage Guidelines: Adults are recommended to use 5 grams of ointment once daily. The treatment period is usually 7 days. For children, consult a doctor to determine appropriate dosage. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, medical advice should be sought. Avoid entering the vagina with anything other than the applicator during use. If you experience any discomfort or allergic reaction, stop use immediately and seek medical advice.
