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 brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.

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.

Benefits of Candid Medicated Soap

In Fungal skin infection
Candid Medicated Soap 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 Medicated Soap 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 Medicated Soap clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
In Dandruff
Candid Medicated Soap controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
In Nail fungal infection
Candid Medicated Soap, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.

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.

Side effects of Candid Medicated Soap

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

  • Dryness
  • mild irritation
  • itching
  • redness

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.
