CANDID B LOTION

Description

Candid-B Lotion is manufactured by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd and is primarily used to treat superficial fungal skin infections where inflammation is prominent. The active ingredients work synergistically to provide relief:

• Clotrimazole: A broad-spectrum antifungal that disrupts the cell membrane of fungi, leading to their death.

• Beclometasone: A corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators.

Key Benefits:

• Treats fungal infections such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and candidiasis.

• Reduces symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling associated with these infections.

• Suitable for use in adults and children over 2 years of age.

Dosage and Administration:

• Apply a thin layer of the lotion to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Continue use for the prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve before completion, to ensure complete eradication of the infection.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Burning or stinging sensation at the application site.

• Dryness or redness of the skin.

• Itching or rash.

These side effects are generally mild and temporary. If they persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.

• Do not use on open wounds or broken skin unless advised by a doctor.

• Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or having a history of skin conditions.
