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.
Candid Medicated Soap contains Clotrimazole 1% w/w medicated soap. It belongs to the Imidazole antifungal class of medicines.
Clotrimazole reduces fungal growth by disrupting ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. Regular cleansing may help lower surface fungal burden alongside prescribed therapy.
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.
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.
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.
Most side effects of Candid Medicated Soap 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.

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight
Keep the area clean and completely dry — fungus thrives in moisture and sweat. Wear loose cotton clothing, change it daily, and wash clothes and towels in hot water. Do not share towels, and treat affected family members at the same time.
