Gyne Lotrimin

Gyne-Lotrimin, chemically classified as imidazole derivative, is a vaginal anti-fungal brand with clotrimazole as generic name. It acts as fungicidal and thus interferes with fungal DNA replication and binds sterols into the  fungal cell membrane that increases permeability and leaking of cell nutrients. Trhough this, it stops the growth of fungus or fungal infections. Other clotrimazole brands include Mycelex Troches, Lotrimin, Lotrimin AF, Mycelex, Mycelex OTC, FemCare, Mycelex-G, Mycelex-7, Mycelex Twin Pack and Canesten. Clotrimazole medicines are used for tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, tinea versicolor, and albicans infection of the vagina, vulva, throat, and mouth.

An adult or a child must continuously apply clotrimazole cream into affected areas of the skin for 1 to 8 weeks. Otherwise, he or she should take in 1 clotrimazole tablet a day for 1 to 2 weeks.

This drug may cause rashes, urticaria or hives (a relatively common form of allergic reaction that causes raised red skin welts), stinging, burning, peeling, blistering and fissures on the skin upon the start of a patient’s medication. He or she may also experience abdominal cramps, bloating, urinary frequency, and dyspareunia or painful sexual intercourse, due to medical or psychological causes.

Doctors must avoid, at all costs, prescribing clotrimazole medicines to patients with hypersensitivity to prevent allergic reactions. Doctors must be extra cautious when assigning these medicines to pregnant and lactating patients.

When judging the weight of a patient’s medication, medical practitioners must take into consideration his or her (patient) reactionz – burning, stinging, swelling and redness – towards the clotrimazole substance to find out whether he or she is allergic to it or not. In evaluating his or her (patient)’s progress, a medical practitioner must attach a value to the therapeutic response of the patient’s infected body part – whether there is a decrease in size, number of lesions, itching and patches around the vulva.

A patient must apply enough medication to cover lesions completely or take in 1 tablet every night. But before each application, he or she must first make sure that the portion is cleansed thoroughly and well dried. Medical practitioners should include post treatment care with regards to their patients. In connection with clotrimazole, they must reiterate to the patient that he or she must apply with gloves to prevent further infection; wash his or her hands before and after each application, avoid getting this medication into the eyes, nose, or mouth. and to use continuously even during menstrual period.

They should also warn their patients to avoid any usage of other creams, ointments, or lotions unless directed by a specialist and to return to them after 2 months to evaluate progress and to report if the infection persisted. They should also warn their patients to avoid using or wearing tight-fitting, synthetic clothing that does not allow air circulation.

It is always advisable to wear cloths made from cotton and other natural fibers. The use of this medication is strictly for the full amount of time prescribed by the physician or recommended in the package even a patient starts to feel better, thus he or she (doctor) must remind the patients that their patient’s symptoms may improve before the infection is totally healed hence they have to continue using it.
