About Candid Total Plus Cream 20 gm

Candid Total Plus Cream 20 gm belongs to a group of medications called ‘anti-infectives’ used to treat swelling, itching, and redness caused due to bacterial or fungal skin infections. Candid Total Plus Cream 20 gm effectively treats bacterial and fungal skin infections. Bacterial skin infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows on the skin and cause infection. They often appear small, red bumps on the skin, which gradually increase in size. Fungal skin infection is a disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue (mostly sweaty areas that don't get enough airflow) and causes an infection. 

Candid Total Plus Cream 20 gm is a combination of three drugs: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that cause symptoms of skin infections such as redness, swelling and itching. Miconazole is an antifungal agent that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Candid Total Plus Cream 20 gm may cause side effects such as dry skin, burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side-effects are mild and temporary. They do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
