Composition of Candid B Cream
Candid B Cream contains Clotrimazole (1% w/w) + Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025% w/w). It belongs to the Imidazole antifungal + Corticosteroid class of medicines.
Uses of Candid B Cream
- Inflammatory fungal skin infections such as tinea (ringworm)
- Jock itch
- Athlete’s foot with marked redness
- Itching
- Inflammation (when prescribed)
Benefits of Candid B Cream
- In Fungal skin infection
- Candid B kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
- In Ringworm
- Candid B clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
- In Athlete's foot
- Candid B clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
- In Dandruff
- Candid B controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
- In Nail fungal infection
- Candid B, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.
- In Asthma
- Candid B opens the airways or calms the inflammation inside them, depending on its type, so breathing is easier and attacks are fewer. Delivered straight into the lungs, it works where it is needed with very little reaching the rest of the body.
- In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Candid B relaxes the airways so that air moves in and out more easily, reducing breathlessness and letting you walk further and do more before you have to stop.
How Candid B Cream works
Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal that damages fungal cell membranes by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness and itching in the affected skin.
How to take Candid B Cream
Cream: Clean and dry the affected area, apply a thin layer 1-2 times daily or as prescribed. Use for the duration advised; avoid occlusive dressings unless told. Wash hands after use and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. It can cause a racing heart, marked tremor, headache and a fall in blood potassium. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

- dryness
- itching
- skin thinning with prolonged use
- acneiform eruptions
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
