Candid Cream 50 g

Candid Cream 50 G contains Beclometasone (0.025% w/w) + Clotrimazole (1% w/w). Prescription required.

Treatment of superficial fungal skin infections such as ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), cutaneous candidiasis and pityriasis (tinea) versicolor.

Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This increases membrane permeability leading to leakage of cellular contents and death/inhibition of fungi.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and gently rub in 2-3 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Continue for the full prescribed duration even if symptoms improve; wash hands after application and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin.

Burning, stinging, irritation, redness, itching, dryness, peeling, rash

For external use only. Stop use and consult a doctor if severe irritation, blistering, swelling or allergic reaction occurs. Avoid use on eyes/mucosa and do not apply under occlusive dressings unless advised. If symptoms persist/worsen after 2-4 weeks, seek medical advice. Use with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to azole antifungals.

Topical use has minimal interactions; may reduce effectiveness of latex condoms/diaphragms when applied in genital area. Concurrent topical products on same site may increase irritation.
