Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Clotrimazole exerts its action primarily by damaging the permeability barrier in the fungal cytoplasmic membrane.  Clotrimazole thereby inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol in a concentration-dependent manner by inhibiting the demethylation of 14 alpha lanosterol

Pharmacokinets

After vaginal treatment with clotrimazole, the small fraction absorbed into the systemic circulation--between 3% and 10% of the dose--is subjected to metabolism and excretion as after oral or intravenous administration. The vaginal availability of clotrimazole is largely dependent on the formulation applied
