Using clotrimazole for thrush with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand name: Canesten

Cautions with other medicines

Using clotrimazole creams while taking other medicines has not caused any known problems.

However, before using clotrimazole pessaries, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • amphotericin, or other antifungal medicines like nystatin
  • tacrolimus or sirolimus (given after transplant surgery, or to treat psoriasis or rheumatism)

Mixing clotrimazole for thrush with herbal remedies and supplements

There's not enough information to say whether complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with clotrimazole. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal medicines, vitamins or supplements.
