Treatment SummaryClotrimazole is a medication used to treat fungal infections. It belongs to a class of drugs called imidazole antifungals and is available as creams, pessaries, or slowly dissolving tablets. Clotrimazole is known for its minimal side effects and easy metabolism, making it a popular treatment for fungal infections such as vaginal yeast infections and athlete's foot.

Effectiveness
How Mycelex Affects PatientsClotrimazole is an antifungal medicine that works by disrupting the cell walls of fungi, preventing them from growing. Generally, lower concentrations of clotrimazole stop the fungi from multiplying, while higher concentrations can actually kill the fungi. In the past, clotrimazole was very effective, but now it is often not as successful due to an increase in resistance in certain patients.
How Mycelex works in the bodyClotrimazole is an antifungal drug that works by damaging the protective barrier of fungal cells. It does this by blocking the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is an important building block of fungal cell membranes. Without this barrier, the cell is unable to function properly and the growth of the fungus is stopped. Clotrimazole also blocks other calcium-related processes like calcium-dependent potassium channels and voltage-dependent calcium channels. This leads to other effects beyond just stopping fungal growth.

Mycelex Reviews: What are patients saying about Mycelex?
5Patient Review
2/1/2010 After initially seeing some success, I experienced a setback after forgetting to take the medication as directed. I'm now on my second bottle and still struggling. The side effects are incredibly uncomfortable, especially for someone with Crohn's like me.
4.7Patient Review
9/7/20084.3Patient Review
2/12/2010 I've been really pleased with this medication. I had four surgeries in five weeks, and the last one was due to a bone infection. I was put on IV antibiotics for six weeks, and I usually have a problem with oral antibiotics causing yeast infections and thrush. But I've had no signs of a flare up with Mycelex. They don't taste bad, either, which is a plus.
4Patient Review
4/18/2011 Mycelex was effective after seven days, but I had to stop taking it due to severe allergic reactions. These included headaches, dizziness, and difficulty swallowing food.
3.7Patient Review
6/18/2009 My doctor prescribed this to me for the mouth sores caused by my chemotherapy. It's really easy to use, and I like that there is no taste.
3.7Patient Review
11/11/2009 I've been having stomach issues ever since I started taking this medication.
3.3Patient Review
1/20/2011 I'm only on day three of the Mycelex treatment, but I haven't seen much improvement yet. Hoping the full two weeks will make a big difference.
3Patient Review
3/15/2010 This treatment really helped me. I'm grateful for modern medicine.
2Patient Review
6/25/2018 I'm on my third bottle, and I still haven't seen a full recovery. Not sure what the next step is, but I hope to find something that works soon.
