WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS AND WHAT IT
IS USED FOR
This medicine contains Clotrimazole which
belongs to a group of medicines called
anti-fungals, which act to treat infections caused
by fungi.
It can be used to treat the external symptoms of
thrush (vulval candidiasis) and may also be used
by the woman’s sexual partner to treat
associated penile thrush (candidial balanitis).
Thrush is a common infection caused by a yeast
(or fungus), which may live harmlessly in the
vagina without you even noticing it. However, in
certain circumstances, it may develop into an
infection in the vagina and symptoms may
spread to the surrounding area. The symptoms
may include one or more of the following.
•
itching of the vagina and surrounding area (the
vulva)
•
redness and swelling of the tissues of the
vagina and vulva
•
soreness of the vagina and vulva
•
a white non-smelling discharge from the
vagina.
Thrush may be aggravated by sexual intercourse,
but it is not a sexually transmitted disease.
Sometimes, however, thrush can be passed to
your partner through sexual intercourse.
If your partner has penile thrush he may have
one or more of the following symptoms:
•
soreness and redness of the penis
•
tightness of the foreskin
•
