About clotrimazole
About clotrimazole
How to get a clotrimazole prescription online?
You can request an appointment with a licensed provider through Klarity Health to determine if a clotrimazole prescription is medically appropriate. Start by booking an appointment with a board-certified provider. During the online visit, your provider may review your symptoms and medical history, and determine whether clotrimazole is appropriate.
Providers who may prescribe clotrimazole include:
- Physician assistants (PAs)
- Nurse practitioners (NPs)
- Medical doctors (MDs)
If prescribed, your medication can be sent to a local or online pharmacy. Some versions may also be available OTC. It includes over-the-counter options and clotrimazole cream prescriptions for more persistent or widespread infections.
Clotrimazole dosages and side effects
Clotrimazole dosages and how to use them
Clotrimazole is most commonly available in topical formulations. In some cases, a clotrimazole cream prescription is needed for recurrent or resistant fungal infections. It may include 1% cream, lotion, solution, or vaginal 1% or 2% formulations.
The standard dosage depends on the type and location of the infection. For example:
• Athlete’s foot, jock itch, or ringworm: Apply clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily for 2–4 weeks.
• Vaginal yeast infections: 1% clotrimazole vaginal cream is applied once daily for 7 days; 2% clotrimazole vaginal cream is applied once daily for 3 days.
• Oral thrush (lozenge form, prescription only): One troche (10 mg) is held in the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly, five times daily for 14 consecutive days.
It’s important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve early, to prevent recurrence. Do not apply to open wounds or use for longer than prescribed. Dosage and duration should always be confirmed with a licensed healthcare provider.
Clotrimazole side effects and warnings
Clotrimazole is well tolerated but may cause mild side effects, especially when used vaginally or on sensitive skin.
Common side effects:
• Mild itching or burning
• Redness or irritation
• Peeling or dry skin
Less common side effects:
• Hives or rash
• Swelling or blistering
• Vaginal discomfort or discharge
Warnings:
• Avoid if allergic to clotrimazole or other azole antifungals.
• Discontinue use and consult a provider if symptoms worsen.
• Avoid contact with eyes and do not apply to open wounds. • Do not use in children under 3 years unless directed by a healthcare provider.
• Prolonged use of clotrimazole, especially in high concentrations or over a large area of skin, should be done with caution and according to the prescriber’s directions to avoid the risk of systemic absorption.
Report side effects to the FDA at MedWatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
What does clotrimazole cost?
Clotrimazole is generally inexpensive, especially when purchased as a generic. Prices vary by formulation, strength, and pharmacy location. Below is a cost comparison from Drugs.com (retail prices) and GoodRx (discount prices based on Los Angeles, CA).
| Form & strength | Quantity | Retail price on Drugs.com | GoodRx discount price (Los Angeles, CA) |

How does clotrimazole compare to other medications?
Clotrimazole is part of the imidazole antifungal family and is used for topical and vaginal fungal infections. Here’s how it compares to similar treatments:
| Medication | Type | Used for | Rx needed? | Key difference |
| Clotrimazole | Imidazole | Skin & vaginal infections | Some forms | Mild, widely available |
| Miconazole | Imidazole | Vaginal & athlete’s foot | Some forms | Similar spectrum |
| Terbinafine | Allylamine | Nail & skin infections | Yes (oral) | Stronger, systemic option |
| Ketoconazole | Imidazole | Dandruff & skin issues | Yes | Often used in shampoos |
Clotrimazole is ideal for localized infections and causes fewer systemic side effects.
