Candid Lotion

Candid Lotion contains Clotrimazole (1% w/v).

Treatment of fungal skin infections such as ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), cutaneous candidiasis, pityriasis (tinea) versicolor; helps relieve associated itching, redness and scaling.

Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. This increases membrane permeability and causes leakage of cell contents, leading to fungal cell death or growth inhibition.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer of lotion to the affected skin 2–3 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Continue for the full prescribed duration (often 2–4 weeks) and for a few days after symptoms improve to prevent recurrence. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin; wash hands after use.
