Candid KZ Cream contains ketoconazole (2 %), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Inhibition of ergosterol synthesis: Ketoconazole works by stopping the creation of a substance called ergosterol. This substance is crucial to keeping fungal cell membranes intact.

• Increased membrane permeability: By curbing the production of ergosterol, ketoconazole disrupts the cell membranes of fungi. This results in an increased leakage of cellular components.

• Fungal cell death: The disruption caused by ketoconazole eventually leads to the death of fungal cells, helping manage the infection.

• Anti-inflammatory properties: Apart from its antifungal action, ketoconazole also has properties that can reduce inflammation. This attribute might be responsible for its effectiveness in managing seborrheic dermatitis.

• Keep Candid KZ Cream stored at room temperature.

• Store the cream in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed after each use.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Make sure you use Candid KZ Cream before its expiry date.

• If you're battling fungal skin infections, maintaining good personal hygiene is critical. Regularly clean and dry the affected areas to help manage the condition effectively while using Candid KZ Cream.

• Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes or footwear that can create a warm, moist environment, inviting for fungi. Opt for breathable fabrics to keep the skin dry and less susceptible to fungal growth.
