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.

Side effects of Candid B Cream

Most side effects of Candid B are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Burning
  • stinging
  • irritation
  • 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.
