Wash hands with soap and water after applying product.

Frequency of Use:

Use twice daily or as directed by your veterinarian. Duration of therapy depends on the condition being treated and the animal's response.

Storage:

Store Clotrimazole at controlled room temperature, between 59 and 86 degrees, in the original container. Keep away from animals and children.

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Clotrimazole kills yeast and fungi by preventing production of a substance called ergosterol. Ergosterol is an essential part of the cell membranes in fungi, and interfering with its production causes holes to develop in the membranes. This allows unwanted substances to enter the cells and allows cell contents to leak out. The fungi quickly die.
