CANDID GOLD CREAM

Description

Candid Gold Cream 50g is a topical antifungal medication designed to combat superficial fungal skin infections. The active ingredient, Clotrimazole, is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption increases the permeability of the fungal cell membrane, leading to leakage of cellular contents and ultimately causing cell death.

Indications:

• Tinea corporis (ringworm)

• Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot)

• Tinea cruris (jock itch)

• Cutaneous candidiasis (skin yeast infections)

• Pityriasis versicolor

Dosage and Administration:

• Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area 2–3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

• Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application.

• Continue treatment for the prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Burning or stinging sensation at the application site

• Itching, redness, or irritation at the application site

• Dryness or peeling of the skin

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

Precautions:

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

• Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if signs of an allergic reaction occur, such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

• Use with caution if you have a history of hypersensitivity to imidazole antifungals.

• Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
