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

_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
