A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Candid B Lotion 30 ml. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Candid B Lotion 30 ml contains Beclometasone (0.025% w/w) + Clotrimazole (1% w/w).
Treatment of Fungal skin infections
Candid-B Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Clotrimazole which treat skin infections. Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
If you miss a dose of Candid-B Cream, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Taking more Candid B than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
Most side effects of Candid B are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately 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.
| Pregnancy | Candid-B Lotion may be unsafe to use during pregnancy.<br/>Animal studies have shown adverse effects on the foetus, however, there are limited human studies. The benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk. Please consult your doctor. |
|---|---|
| Breastfeeding | Candid-B Lotion is probably safe to use during lactation. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent a significant risk to the baby. |
| Alcohol | No interaction found/established |
| Driving | Driving |
| Kidney | No interaction found/established |
| Liver | No interaction found/established |
| Habit forming | No |
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every medicine you take, including over-the-counter products, vitamins and herbal or ayurvedic preparations, before starting Candid B. Some combinations can change how Candid B works or raise the chance of side effects.
Store Candid B below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the pack tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not use it after the expiry date printed on the pack.
Apply a thin layer of Candid-B Cream to clean, dry skin as directed by your doctor. Candid-B Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or inside the vagina, and rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs. Wash your hands before and after applying Candid-B Cream unless your hands are the treated area. Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings or tight bandages unless advised by your doctor. Use Candid-B Cream only for the duration prescribed, as prolonged or unsupervised use of steroid-containing creams may thin the skin. Avoid applying Candid-B Cream on large areas, the face, or private areas unless advised by your doctor. Do not mix Candid-B Cream with other steroid creams or topical medicines unless instructed by your doctor. Keep the affected skin clean and dry, as moisture and humidity may worsen fungal infections. Stop using Candid-B Cream and consult your doctor if severe burning, irritation, or worsening of the infection occurs. Consult your doctor if the infection spreads or does not improve after about 2 weeks of treatment. Do not share Candid-B Cream with others, even if they have similar symptoms.
