Section 4.2

 

  The following text was added:

 

Patients should notify their physician if there is no improvement after 4 weeks of treatment.

 

Section 4.4

 

The following text was added:

 

Avoid contact with eyes and do not swallow.

 

 

Section 4.8

 

The entire section was revised to the following:

 

The listed adverse drug reactions are based on spontaneous reports, thus an organisation according to CIOMS III categories is not possible.

 

Immune system disorders

Allergic reaction (ME) (with symptoms such as urticaria (ME), dyspnoe (PT), hypotension (PT) and syncope (PT)).

                                          

Skin and subcuteaneous tissue disorders

Pruritus (ME), rash (ME), blisters (PT), peeling/exfoliation (PT), discomfort/pain (PT), stinging/burning (PT), edema (PT), burning (PT), irritation.

 

 

Section 5.1

 

The following text was updated to:

Under appropriate test conditions, the MIC values for these types of fungi are in the region of less than 0.062 – 8.0 mg/ml substrate.

 

 

Section 5.2

 

This section was revised to read:

 

Pharmacokinetic investigations after dermal application have shown that clotrimazole is minimally absorbed from the intact or inflamed skin into the human blood circulation. The resulting peak serum concentrations of clotrimazole were below the detection limit of 0.001 mg/ml, suggesting that clotrimazole applied topically on the skin is unlikely to lead to measurable systemic effects or side effects.

 

 

 

 

Section 6.6:

 

‘No special requirements’ was replaced with:

 

‘Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste. Ask your

pharmacist how dispose of medicines no longer required. These measures will

help to protect the environment.’
