Kadefungin 6 Kombi-Packung (Clotrimazole)

• Clotrimazole acts on fungal infections of the genital tract, particularly those caused by Candida species.
• Vaginal candidiasis: eliminates the infection and relieves itching, burning and discharge.
• Yeast infection of the vagina: reduces overgrowth of Candida and restores normal flora.
• Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (when prescribed): helps prevent further episodes by maintaining a fungal‑free environment.

• Clotrimazole inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, a key step in ergosterol synthesis. By blocking ergosterol production, the drug disrupts the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, leading to increased permeability and ultimately cell death. This selective action targets Candida species while having minimal effect on human cells.

Clotrimazole may cause local adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

• Vaginal irritation or burning sensation.
• Itching or mild rash in the application area.
