How to use:

– Adults: Apply topically 2–3 times a day, after washing the affected area (preferably with a soap with an alkaline pH). After application, gently massage the affected area, until the solution is completely absorbed.

– The duration of treatment depends on the location of the condition and its age, it is 1–3 weeks for pityriasis versicolor, 2 weeks for interdigital mycosis, 3–4 weeks for other dermatomycoses.

– In the case of mycosis of the ear canal (provided that the eardrum is intact) soak a cotton swab in the solution and place it in the canal, without being compressed too much.

– In interdigital mycosis it is very important to follow the hygiene rules and it is recommended to powder the socks and the inside of the shoes in the morning, so as not to favor the appearance of moisture due to sweat and thus prevent reinfection. Clotrimazole penetrates the skin, reaching deep to the base of the infectious process, and through its broad spectrum it constitutes an immediate, effective therapy.

– The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the infection and the location, and obtaining a lasting effect requires a continuation of the treatment for about 14 days, after the disappearance of symptoms.

– The duration of treatment is on average 4–5 weeks.

– In the elderly and children over 5 years of age, it is not necessary to adjust the doses.
