Read This Before Using
Clotrimazole Vaginal Cream USP (2%)
Vaginal Antifungal

Clotrimazole USP 2% (100 mg in each applicatorful).

3-day treatment of vaginal yeast infections.

Uses:

• For the treatment of vaginal yeast infections.
• Relieves external itching and irritation due to a vaginal yeast infection.

If you have symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning, or discharge, and if at some time in the past your doctor has told you that these symptoms were due to a vaginal yeast infection, then Clotrimazole Vaginal Cream should work for you. If, however, you have never had these symptoms or a vaginal yeast infection before, you should see your doctor before using this product.

What is a Vaginal Yeast Infection?

A yeast infection is a common type of vaginal infection. Your doctor may call it candidiasis. This condition is caused by an organism called Candida, which is a type of yeast. Healthy women usually have this yeast on the skin, in the mouth, in the digestive tract, and in the vagina. At times, the yeast can grow very quickly. In fact, the infection is sometimes called yeast (Candida) "overgrowth." Some women may have a yeast infection on the skin outside the vagina (vulva) associated with the vaginal infection.

A yeast infection can occur at any age. It is most common during the childbearing years. Women who are pregnant or diabetic, taking antibiotics, birth control pills or steroids, or who have a weakened immune system are more likely to get repeated yeast infections.

Various medical conditions can damage the body's normal defenses against infection.

One of the most serious of these conditions is infection with the human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV-the virus that causes AIDS). The HIV virus causes the body to be more likely to get infections, including vaginal yeast infections. Therefore, women with HIV infection may have frequent vaginal yeast infections that do not clear up easily with proper treatment. If you may have been exposed to HIV and are experiencing repeated vaginal yeast infections, you should see your doctor right away. For additional information on HIV infection, please contact your doctor or the CDC National AIDS HOT-LINE. The CDC phone numbers are: 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) for English or Spanish or 1-888-232-6348 (hearing impaired, TDD/TTY).

Symptoms of a Vaginal Yeast Infection

There are many symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection. They can include:

• Vaginal itching (ranging from mild to severe).
• A clumpy, vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese.
• Vaginal soreness, irritation, or burning.
• Rash or redness on the skin outside the vagina (vulvar irritation).

Note: Vaginal discharge that is different from above, for example, a yellow/green discharge or a foul-smelling discharge may mean that you have a different infection. If this is the case, you should talk to your doctor before using Clotrimazole Vaginal Cream.

For Best Results

1. Be sure to use this product for the full 3 days, even if your symptoms go away sooner.

2. Use one applicatorful of Clotrimazole Vaginal Cream at bedtime for three days in a row, even during your menstrual period.

3. Wear cotton underwear.

4. If your partner has itching, redness or discomfort of his penis, he should consult his doctor. He should tell the doctor that you are treating yourself for a vaginal yeast infection.

5. Dry the outside vaginal area thoroughly after a shower, bath or swim. Change out of a wet bathing suit or damp clothes as soon as possible. A dry area is less likely to lead to the growth of yeast.

6. Wipe from front to rear after a bowel movement or urination.

7. Do not douche unless your doctor tells you to do so. Douching may wash the product out of the vagina.

8. Try not to scratch the skin outside the vagina. Scratching can cause more irritation and can spread the infection.

9. Discuss with your doctor any drugs you are now taking. You are more likely to get a vaginal yeast infection with certain drugs.

10. Do not have vaginal intercourse while using this product.

11. When using this product, condoms and diaphragms may be damaged and fail to prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
