If the cream accidentally comes into contact with the eyes, wash the affected area with plenty of clean water; if adverse reactions occur that persist, it is necessary to consult a doctor.

To cure interdigital mycoses ("athlete's foot"), it is recommended to powder the socks and the inside of the shoes with talcum powder or another absorbent powder. The feet should be washed and dried very well, especially in the affected area.

If irritation or allergic reactions occur at the site of application during treatment with Clotrimazole Atb, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
