Is it harmful to use expired clotrimazole cream for Serious Red Rash in Vagina with expiration date: November 2009 ? I would believe it is but my friend says NO....... ## Yes, you are correct and it shouldn't be used. Creams tend to degrade fairly fast and usually contain oils that can go rancid with time. Thus, trying to use one that's this old to treat a vaginal issue could just end up making the situation worse. It is best to use a new cream that is still fully potent and within its expiration date.

How long will this condition take to heal with this cream? ## DO NOT USE INSIDE YOUR VAGINA! It clearly says that on my tube (no vagina). Not nose, mouth or eyes either. Use twice a day at the same schedule. Not longer than five days in a row and definitely not longer than 4 weeks!!!

Have a tube of Clotrimazole Beta. Dipro. cream, 1%. Don't know how long I've had it and can't interpret date code on end of tube. It is 669K 00T12 -- please tell me what the expiration date is. ## Look at the metal end of the tube and you will see the expiration date. You may need a magnifier. It is etched. ## Bob, can you see the manufacturer name on there anywhere? If so let me know, maybe it would be possible to contact them with that lot # and they could know the date based on that? And Jasmine's suggestion is probably right too, any luck with that? Interested to know either way. ## I posted the "Exp. date" etched on the end of the tube. But it's not a date! My question is, what does it translate into, datewise? Guess I'll have to query the mfr. ## Mf...

Need to know If I can order this online in Mexico and be shipped to US ## Hello, Jim! How are you? I'm sure there are ways you could, but it isn't legal to do so, since all of these ingredients require a prescription in the U.S. The Betamethasone is a steroid class medication that carries the risk of causing some dangerous side effects, such as fluid retention, elevated heart rate and elevated blood pressure, so the U.S. doesn't allow most of them to be used, without a physician's supervision. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## You can get Quadriderm on amazon. I use to live in Mexico and we use to call it the triple treat cream lol. ## Just go to a Mexican flea market is all ## I have really bad dark spots in my face. Is the cream or can available in Mexico?

The expiration date shown on my Clotrimazole vaginal gel is July 2017. So, is it possible to use it in July or should it be used before July? ## It does not become dangerous, once expired, but it may start to lose efficacy, and in most cases, the FDA means it should be used by the end of the month, though checking with your pharmacist may be a good idea to be certain. Its typical side effects as listed as possibly including spotting, irritation, itching, and discharge. Is there anything else I can help with?

## Re: Betamethasone Deproporionate Cream 0.05%. I was presecribed this cream for dermatitis on my ear. Can this be used for dry red blotches on my face. ## I have fungal infection and My doctor gave me a cream with Beclomethasone Dipropionate, Clorimazole & Gentamycin. This cream is not available in any medical store. Doctor himself sells this cream. Now I got alternative cream from medical store in which Gentamycin is not present. Can I use this? ## Hello, Nishant! How are you? Gentamycin is used to treat bacterial infections, so it will not do anything to help with a fungal infection. The important ingredient to treat a fungal infection is the Clotrimazole. Did he give some reason he wanted you to use that specific combination? The FDA warns that it may cause skin redness, irrita...

## Ok I got an breakout from latex or the ky jelly within a hour from the gyn I wanted to know can I use Clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream inside and outside my vagina or is there anything I can use ## What type of breakout? This cream combines an antifungal medication (Clotrimazole) with a steroid, (Betamethasone), so there is a risk of it making some issues worse. The FDA also warns that it may cause side effects, such as skin redness, irritation, itching, and flaking. And you should not use anything inside your vagina that has not been specially formulated for such use. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Have you ever had issues with latex, before?

Can I use this on a 10onth old baby . Clotrazole cream USP 1% for a yeast infection ## Hi Christina, Clotrimazole is used to treat yeast infections. However, according to the US National Institute of Health, the product warning label for Clotrimazole recommends asking a doctor before applying this medication on children under 2 years of age. I don't know what sort of risk factors or side effects may be associated with children in this age group who are taking Clotrimazole, but I'm sure the age limit is in place for a good reason. So we can only hope that the doctor will be able to make an appropriate judgement call upon determining whether or not it's going to be safe. Something they may take into consideration is the child's biological age in conjunction with their chro...

I have been using Clotrimazole betamethazone for 2 weeks for vaginal topical yeast infection. I now have small white pimple bumps and it doesn't seem that the cream has helped at all. Called my Dr., he said it sounds like it's healing up. Is this normal for this cream or should I get a new Dr.? ## The betamethasone is a steroid that can cause acne/pimples as a side effect, as well as skin redness, flaking, and irritation, according to FDA reports. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? ## Thanks for the info. I have gone to my regular Dr. who tested for everything, and found nothing. She thinks the steroid was not necessary to begin with since I had never had any issues before this. I feel the steroid did more harm than good. I'm...

Why can't patients under 17 use it? What harm could a topical steroid really cause? ## Hello, Mygirlz! How are you? There are actually several reasons and they vary by the age of the pediatric patient. For instance, in children under 12, there have been cases where they absorbed too much of it, due to their smaller body mass to skin ratio and suffered dangerous toxicity, this may also apply to those from 13 to 17. And for children from 13 to 17, there have been instances of adrenal suppression from its use. And all children from 12 to 17 risk developing Cushing's Syndrome from using it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is growth a concern in children under 12? My son had a bad rash and was given Triamcinolone Acetone Cream USP 0.1% 30 g. He did not use the whole tube. ...
