Clotrimazole is a medication used to treat vaginal yeast infections (candida). During menopause, oestrogen levels decrease and fluctuate, making the vaginal mucosa more susceptible to fungal infections. Symptoms such as itching, redness, and irritation are common, sometimes accompanied by white, clumpy discharge. The cream contains clotrimazole, an antifungal agent that inhibits fungal growth, thereby alleviating symptoms. This medication is hormone-free.
