What is Corisol cream and when is it used?

Corisol cream contains clotrimazole as an active ingredient. This active ingredient destroys fungi that attack the skin of humans and lead to superficial fungal diseases (mycoses). It is also effective against certain bacteria on the skin.Corisol Creme can also be used for diaper rash and yeast infestation on the glans and penis.

When should Corisol Creme not be used?

Corisol Creme should not be used if there is hypersensitivity to other antifungal agents (antimycotics) of the imidazole type or a component of the preparation.If there is a known hypersensitivity to cetylstearyl alcohol, it is advisable to use a cetostearyl alcohol-free dosage form instead of the cream.

Corisol cream must not be applied to the mucous membranes of the mouth or nose or in/on the eyes or swallowed.

Can Corisol Cream be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Control Studies in pregnant women are not available.Animal studies have shown embryotoxic effects at high oral doses. However, due to the low systemic availability, harmful effects on the embryo or fetus are unlikely.The preparation should only be used during pregnancy under medical supervision and only if this is clearly necessary.

Lactation

Animal studies have shown that small amounts of clotrimazole can be detected in breast milk after intravenous administration. Corresponding human data are not available. After local application of clotrimazole, however, systemic absorption is very low, so that it is unlikely that relevant amounts of the substance will pass into breast milk.During breastfeeding, Corisol cream should under no circumstances be applied directly to the breast; if treatment of the breast is necessary, breastfeeding must be (temporarily) stopped.

How do you use Corisol Cream?Adults and children from 2 years of age

In the case of athlete's foot - to prevent recurrence - treatment should continue for about 2 weeks after all signs of the disease have disappeared, even if the improvement is rapid.
