Clotrimazole sterile eye ointment is used for the treatment of fungal keratitis caused by filamentous fungi and Candida species.

Clotrimazole eliminates fungi and yeasts by disrupting their cell membranes. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and leakage of vital intracellular substances, ultimately causing fungal cell death.

Eye ointment: It should be applied thinly and evenly to the conjunctival sac every 4 hours daily or as advised by a physician.

Clotrimazole ointment should not be used in patients who are hypersensitive to any of its ingredients.

In rare cases, patients may feel a burning sensation or irritation immediately after applying the ointment.

Pregnancy Category B. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women during the first trimester. Clotrimazole should be used during early pregnancy only if clearly necessary.

It is not known whether clotrimazole passes into breast milk; therefore, caution is advised when it is used by breastfeeding mothers.

If irritation or sensitivity occurs during the use of Clotrimazole ointment, the treatment should be discontinued.

Use in children: The safety and effectiveness of Clotrimazole in children have been established when used according to recommended guidelines and dosage.
