It is practically insoluble in water, sparingly soluble in ether and very soluble in polyethylene glycol 400, ethanol, and chloroform. Each mL of clotrimazole topical solution USP, 1% contains 10 mg clotrimazole USP in a nonaqueous vehicle of polyethylene glycol 400. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that is used for the treatment of dermal infections caused by various species of pathogenic dermatophytes, yeasts, and _Malassezia furfur_. The primary action of clotrimazole is against dividing and growing organisms. _In vitro_, clotrimazole exhibits fungistatic and fungicidal activity against isolates of _Trichophyton rubrum,_ _Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis_, and _Candida_ species including _Candida albicans_. In general, the _in vitro_ activity of clotrimazole corresponds to that of tolnaftate and griseofulvin against the mycelia of dermatophytes (_Trichophyton, Microsporum_, and 22 17 2 _Epidermophyton_), and to that of the polyenes (amphotericin B and nystatin) against budding fungi (_Candida_). Using an _in vivo_ (mouse) and an _in vitro_ (mouse kidney homogenate) testing system, clotrimazole and miconazole were equally effective in preventing the growth of the pseudomycelia and mycelia of _Candida albicans_. Strains of fungi having a natural resistance to clotrimazole are rare. Only a single isolate of _Candida_ _guilliermondi_ has been reported to Preberite celoten dokument
