Candid Cream 30gm

Candid Cream is used for the following:

• Managing athlete's foot, a fungal infection affecting the feet.

• Helping with jock itch, which is a fungal infection in the groyne region.

• Dealing with ringworm, a type of skin infection caused by fungi.

• Alleviating candidiasis of the skin, a condition caused by yeast-like fungi.

• Reducing pityriasis versicolor, a fungal infection that causes small patches of skin to become scaly and discoloured.

Follow these steps while using Candid Cream:

• Ensure your skin in the affected area is clean and dry before application.

• Apply a thin layer of the cream onto the affected area using your fingertip or a clean cotton swab.

• Gently massage the cream into your skin until fully absorbed.

• Repeat this process 2-3 times daily or as directed by your doctor.

• Always wash your hands after applying the cream to prevent spreading the infection. If you have any doubts about how to use Candid Cream, consult your doctor for advice.

Candid Cream is applied topically.

Candid Cream contains several active ingredients:

• Clotrimazole (1 %): As an antifungal agent, clotrimazole works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. This interferes with fungal growth by causing increased permeability and leakage of cellular contents.

• Benzyl Alcohol (1 %): This ingredient acts as a preservative in the cream formulation. Its function is to help prevent bacterial growth within the product during its shelf life.

• Methylparaben (0.15%): This preservative prevents microbial contamination and ensures product stability over time.

• Propylparaben (0.05%): It serves as a preservative, inhibiting microbial growth to maintain the product's stability and safety.

Each ingredient contributes to making Candid Cream an effective solution for managing various fungal skin infections.

• Store Candid Cream at a temperature below 25°C.

• Keep the cream in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Since Candid Cream manages fungal skin infections, personal hygiene is crucial. Wash your body regularly with a mild antifungal soap to reduce the chances of reinfection.

• Wear breathable fabrics like cotton to avoid moisture build-up, which can create a favourable environment for fungus to thrive. Avoid tight clothing in humid weather to prevent skin irritation and fungal growth.
