Using clotrimazole cream, spray and solution with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand name: Canesten

Cautions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way clotrimazole works. They can also make you more likely to get side effects.

Tell a doctor before using clotrimazole if you are using Sofradex ear drops. Do not use these in your ear at the same time as clotrimazole.

Mixing clotrimazole 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 remedies, vitamins or supplements.
