Is Oral Ingestion Of Clotrimazole Lozenge A Cause For Concern?
Question: I swollowed a clotrimazole lozenges ....one of them....when I was supposed to suck it...any serious concern for doing this?
Brief Answer:
relax, less likely to produce any adverse effects
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
Relax, it is less likely to Produce any serious adverse effect.
By the oral route, clotrimazole can cause mild gastrointestinal irritation and it should not last for more than a day. No risk of acute intoxication is seen as it is unlikely to occur following inadvertent oral ingestion. There is no specific antidote. The treatment remains drinking lots of fluids and washing the medication out of the body.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
