  Vulvovaginal candidiasis treated with clotrimazole cream in seven days compared with fourteen-day treatment with miconazole cream.

  Robertson WH.

  Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1978 Oct 01;132(3):321-3.

  Clotrimazole 1 per cent vaginal cream administered daily over a seven-day period was compared with miconazole nitrate 2 per cent vaginal cream administered daily over a 14 day period for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis in a double-blind study of 65 women with clinical symptoms of this condition,, for whom treatment was randomly allocated. When efficacy of treatment was evaluated in 44 of these patients, a success rate, based on both clinical and mycologic criteria, of 75 per cent was found in the 20 patients treated with clotrimazole for seven days as compared with a 63 per cent success rate in the 24 patients treated with miconazole for 14 days. Of the 65 women enrolled in the study, two of the miconazole-treated patients experienced burning sensations, whereas the clotrimazole-treated patients experienced no adverse reactions. Thus, in this group of patients clotrimazole 1 per cent vaginal cream was shown to have a slightly, but not significantly, better efficacy than the miconazole nitrate 2 per cent vaginal cream, with no adverse reactions and in half the treatment time.
