Onymykén 100 (Clotrimazole)

Clotrimazole, the active ingredient in Onymykén 100, is an imidazole antifungal presented as a topical formulation for topical use. It treats superficial fungal infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and cutaneous candidiasis in adults and children.

GNH USA supplies Onymykén 100 as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Clotrimazole is used topically to treat superficial fungal infections caused by dermatophytes and yeasts.

- Tinea pedis (athlete's foot): reduces fungal growth and relieves itching, scaling and burning. - Tinea cruris (jock itch): clears the infection and alleviates redness and discomfort. - Cutaneous candidiasis: eliminates Candida overgrowth and improves skin integrity.

Topical clotrimazole is generally well tolerated, but local reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Mild skin irritation or burning at the application site. - Itching or pruritus. - Redness or erythema. - Dryness or peeling of the skin. - Local rash. - Stinging sensation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic contact dermatitis with swelling or blistering. - Severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome (very rare). - Systemic absorption leading to liver enzyme abnormalities (rare). - Extensive swelling or edema of the treated area. - Persistent ulceration or necrosis of skin.

Before using Onymykén 100, consider the following safety measures.

- Application: Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and avoid excessive amounts. - Avoid use on broken or inflamed skin unless directed by a clinician. - Do not combine with other topical antifungal agents without professional advice. - Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare professional; use only if benefit outweighs risk. - Children: Follow pediatric guidance; dosage and duration should be determined by a prescriber. - Store at ambient temperature: Keep the product in its original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Clotrimazole may interact with other medicines or topical agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use of systemic azole antifungals that could increase systemic exposure. - Application over large occlusive dressings that may enhance absorption.
