Caution before using Clotrimazole 1% Cream
Care clotrimazole cream is for external use only. There is a possibility that clotrimazole cream may
damage latex (rubber) condoms and diaphragms (caps) and so make them ineffective at preventing
pregnancy and STIs. If you are using this cream to treat the vagina or penis you should use an
alternative method of contraception for at least five days after using the cream, or preferably avoid
having sex until after the infection has cleared up. Remember that having sex while you still have the
infection is likely to transmit the infection to your partner, who could then transfer it back to you.
If your sexual partner also has symptoms of thrush it is important that they are treated at the same
time as you to prevent you being re-infected. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for further advice. If
symptoms persist despite treatment, seek medical advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
