Clotrimazole in treatment of dermatomycoses and vaginitis.

62 patients with dermatomycoses and 39 patients suffering from vaginitis were treated with topical application (1 X ) of clotrimazole (Canesten) cream and vaginal tablets (100 mg) respectively. A majority of the patients (44) of dermatophytoses were completely cured in 3 to 6 weeks and all cases (11) of cutaneous candidiasis in 1 to 2 weeks. 14 cases of candida vaginitis were cured in 2 weeks and 24 patients with nonspecific vaginitis responded well to the treatment showing definite clinical improvement. No untoward reactions were noticed in these patients.
