Clotrimaderm Vaginal Cream 2% (25g): Fast-Acting Yeast Infection Relief

Clotrimaderm Vaginal Cream 2% is an effective, over-the-counter antifungal treatment used to cure vaginal yeast infections (Candidiasis). It contains 20mg of Clotrimazole per gram of cream, offering a higher concentration for faster 3-day relief compared to standard 1% formulas. It works by stopping the growth of Candida fungi and soothing external itching and irritation.

Why Choose Clotrimaderm 2%?

While many products treat yeast infections, Clotrimaderm 2% is often preferred by pharmacists for its dual-action approach. It is formulated to be used both internally (with applicators) and externally (to soothe vulvar itching).

Pharmacist Tip: If you experience frequent infections (more than 4 times a year), our Diabetes Counseling Toronto experts suggest checking your blood sugar, as uncontrolled glucose is a leading cause of recurring yeast overgrowth.

  • Active Ingredient: Clotrimazole 2% (USP).

How to Apply Clotrimaderm Vaginal Cream

As a full-service Compounding Pharmacy, we emphasize proper administration:

  1. Internal Use: Use the provided applicator to insert the cream high into the vagina at bedtime.

  2. External Use: Apply a small amount to the irritated external skin (vulva) 1–2 times daily.

  3. Completion: You must finish the full course. According to the Mayo Clinic, stopping treatment early can lead to the development of antifungal-resistant yeast.

Decoding Symptoms: Is it a Yeast Infection?

It is easy to confuse a yeast infection with other conditions. Our Vaginal Yeast Infection Symptoms Guide helps you distinguish between yeast and BV.

SymptomYeast Infection (Candidiasis)Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
DischargeThick, white, “cottage cheese”Thin, grey, or yellow
OdorNone or slightly breadyStrong “fishy” odor
ItchingIntense itching & rednessMild or no itching

If you have a fishy odor or fever, you may need a different treatment. Submit your prescription online if your doctor has prescribed a specific antibiotic.

Prevention & Lifestyle (Beyond the Cream)

To prevent future infections, we recommend following the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) best practices:

  • Avoid Scented Products: These disrupt pH levels.

  • Breathable Clothing: Wear cotton underwear.

  • Post-Antibiotic Care: Antibiotics often trigger yeast infections. If you are taking meds for a Urinary Tract Infection, consider a probiotic.

  • Monitor Changes: Stay informed with our guide on Vaginal Yeast Infection Discharge.
