Imazol (Clotrimazole)

Clotrimazole blocks the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, preventing the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the membrane becomes permeable, leading to fungal cell death and resolution of the infection.

The dosage of Imazol is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the infection type, severity, patient age and skin area involved. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided on the product label or by their clinician.

Safety data for clotrimazole in pregnancy are limited, so it should be used only if clearly needed and after consulting a healthcare provider. While small amounts are unlikely to affect a nursing infant, application to the breast area should be avoided unless advised by a physician.

To order Imazol, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Imazol (clotrimazole) belongs to the imidazole class and offers broad‑spectrum activity against dermatophytes and yeasts. Compared with allylamine agents such as terbinafine, clotrimazole has a slightly slower onset but is effective for a wide range of skin infections and is available over the counter in many regions.

Imazol should be stored at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain stability and potency.

Apply a thin layer of Imazol to the affected skin area, usually twice daily, after washing and drying the region. Continue use for the duration recommended by the prescriber, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the fungus.

Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions such as contact dermatitis, Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, extensive swelling, or systemic effects like liver enzyme abnormalities. Any signs of severe skin reaction or systemic symptoms should prompt immediate medical attention.

Imazol should not be used on broken, inflamed or ulcerated skin, in individuals with known hypersensitivity to clotrimazole or other imidazole antifungals, and in children under two years of age unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
