What is thrush? How does Clotrim V help?

Thrush is a very common infection which is caused by overgrowth of a yeast called Candida albicans. It causes itching and burning around the entrance of vagina. In case of thrush, one may experience thick, heavier than usual discharge, appearing like cottage cheese. Clotrim V is an antifungal cream. It is used to kill the fungus or prevent the growth of fungus at the site of infection.

I had been taking tacrolimus and now I have been prescribed Clotrim V vaginal cream. Can I use them together?

Yes, you can use Clotrim V and tacrolimus together. However, you may have to keep a watch on the side effects of tacrolimus. Though it happens rarely, the risk of side effects may increase due to increase in levels of tacrolimus because of Clotrim V. But if it happens, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of tacrolimus.

What should I do if the infection comes back?

Clotrim V can be used again if the candidal infection returns after 7 days. However, if the candidal infection recurs more than twice within six months, you should consult your doctor whether it is candidal infection or something else.

Will the use of Clotrim V affect my sex life?

Clotrim V has no effect on the sex drive or desire. However, it is advised to avoid vaginal intercourse as long as you are using Clotrim V. This is because Clotrim V will not be able to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Also, the medicine may damage the condoms and diaphragms and hence you may need other forms of contraception.

What precautions are necessary while using Clotrim V?

Clotrim V should not be used during menstruation as the cream will get washed off with blood flow. Track the menstrual cycle and make sure that the treatment is completed before the onset of menstruation. Do not use tampons, vaginal douches (washing the vagina with water or other fluids), spermicide (a contraceptive substance that destroys sperm) or other vaginal products while using Clotrim V.
