Imazol (Clotrimazole)

Clotrimazole blocks the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, which is essential for producing ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the membrane becomes permeable and the fungal cell cannot survive, leading to its death and clearance of the infection.

The dosage of Imazol is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the type and severity of the infection, the patient’s age, and the specific product formulation. Patients should follow the instructions provided on the label or by their clinician and not exceed the recommended amount.

Clotrimazole is generally considered low risk for topical use, but safety data for use during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using Imazol to weigh potential benefits against any unknown risks.

To order Imazol, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request verification of trade or institutional credentials. The team then replies with pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Imazol (clotrimazole) belongs to the imidazole class and is effective against a broad range of dermatophytes and yeasts. Compared with allylamine agents such as terbinafine, clotrimazole is typically used for milder infections and offers a favorable safety profile for topical use, though it may require longer treatment durations for some conditions.

Imazol should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C (77 °F). Keep the product in its original container, protect it from moisture, heat and direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly closed to maintain stability.

Imazol is applied topically to the affected skin area, usually twice daily, after cleaning and drying the skin. A thin layer should be spread over the lesion and a small margin of surrounding healthy skin. Hands should be washed after application unless the hands are the treatment site.

While rare, serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing, and extensive skin reactions like contact dermatitis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. If any of these symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and seek urgent medical attention.

Imazol should not be used by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to clotrimazole, other imidazole antifungals, or any of the product’s excipients. It is also contraindicated on severely damaged, ulcerated or inflamed skin until the underlying condition has healed.
