Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have come across many patient who have accidentally brushed their teeth with canesten Clotrimazole antifungal ointment . It is not a serious concern and you have done the right thing and you have gargled with water and brushed your teeth with tooth paste.

No risk of acute intoxication is seen as it is unlikely to occur following inadvertent oral ingestion. There is no specific antidote or any medication that is required to be taken. Please do not worry.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
