Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Candid Medicated Soap. 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.

How Candid Medicated Soap works

Clotrimazole reduces fungal growth by disrupting ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. Regular cleansing may help lower surface fungal burden alongside prescribed therapy.

How to take Candid Medicated Soap

For external use only. Lather on wet skin, leave on affected areas for 1-2 minutes if tolerated, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Use once or twice daily or as advised.

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. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

  • Dryness
  • mild irritation
  • itching

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.
