Common use
Gyne-Lotrimin (for use in the vagina) is used to treat vaginal candida (yeast) infections. Gyne-Lotrimin (Clotrimazole) is an antifungal medication that fights infections caused by fungus.
Dosage and direction
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Wash your hands before and after using this medication. Insert the suppository, or cream into the vagina using the applicator as directed. Use this medicine for the full prescribed length of time, even during your menstrual period. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. If the infection does not clear up, or if it appears to get worse, see your doctor.
You can use a sanitary napkin to prevent the medication from staining your clothing but do not use a tampon.
