About Cloteen-V Cream 35gm

Cloteen-V Cream 35gm Uses

• Vaginal yeast infection (vaginal candidiasis)

• Fungal skin infections near the vaginal area

Cloteen-V Cream 35gm Benefits

• Provides direct relief at the site of infection
• Reduces itching and burning within a few days of use
• Easy application with minimal systemic absorption
• Suitable for repeated use during recurrent infections
• Affordable option compared to imported antifungal brands

Women in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi frequently ask pharmacists for a reliable vaginal antifungal cream, and Cloteen-V is a common recommendation. It is widely stocked at local pharmacies across these cities.

Clotrimazole works by damaging the fungal cell membrane, which stops the fungus from growing and spreading. This action targets the infection directly at the application site.

Most women notice reduced itching within two to three days, though the full course should be completed even if symptoms improve early. Stopping too soon can allow the infection to return.

How to use Cloteen-V Cream 35gm?

• Wash and dry the affected area gently before applying the cream.
• Apply a thin layer using clean fingers or the provided applicator.

• Continue the full course even if symptoms improve after a few days.
• Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment to prevent irritation and reinfection.

Drug Interactions

Cloteen-V has limited systemic absorption, so significant drug interactions are uncommon, but a few precautions apply.

• Barrier Contraceptives: The cream base can reduce the effectiveness of condoms and diaphragms during treatment.
• Other Vaginal Products: Avoid combining with other vaginal creams or douches unless advised by a doctor.
• Oral Antifungals: Concurrent use with oral antifungal drugs should only be done under medical supervision.

Risks and warnings

• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before use, especially in the first trimester.
• Eye Contact: Avoid contact with eyes and rinse immediately if it happens.
• Barrier Contraceptives: This cream can weaken latex condoms and diaphragms.
• Persistent Symptoms: See a doctor if itching or discharge continues after finishing the course.
• Diabetes: Women with diabetes may need longer or repeated treatment courses.

Side Effects

Cloteen-V is generally well tolerated since it works locally rather than throughout the body. Mild reactions can still occur.

• Local burning or stinging after application
• Mild itching or redness
• Skin irritation around the application site

Serious reactions are rare, but stop use and consult a doctor if any of these appear.

• Severe allergic reaction with rash or swelling
• Blistering or peeling skin
• Increased pain or worsening irritation
