CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For the treatment of tinea pedis and tinea cruris.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
There is no separate dosage schedule for the young or elderly.
The cream should be applied thinly 2-3 times daily and rubbed in
gently. A strip of
cream (½ cm long) is enough to treat an area of about the size of the
hand. If the feet
are infected they should be washed and dried, especially between the
toes, before
applying the cream. The treatment should be continued for at least one
month to prevent
re-infection; however a physician should be consulted if symptoms do
not improve
within 7 days.

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients
listed in section 6.1.
Do not use the cream to treat nail or scalp infections.

4.5
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEDICINAL PRODUCTS AND OTHER FORMS OF
INTERACTION
No interaction studies have been performed.
4.6
FERTILITY, PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
Fertility:
No human studies of the effects of clotrimazole on fertility have been
performed;
however, animal studies have not demonstrated any effects of the drug
on fertility.
Pregnancy:
There is a limited amount of data from the use of clotrimazole in
pregnant women.
Animal studies with clotrimazole have shown reproductive toxicity at
high oral doses
(see section 5.3). At the low systemic exposures of clotrimazole
following topical
treatment, harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity are
not predicted.
Clotrimazole can be used during pregnancy
