About Candid Mouth Paint

Candid Mouth Paint belongs to the class of anti-fungal medications known as imidazoles, primarily indicated in the treatment or prevention of oropharyngeal candidiasis. Oropharyngeal candidiasis, also known as oral thrush or candidiasis is an opportunistic mucosal infection caused by the fungus Candida albicans in the majority of cases.

Candid Mouth Paint comprises clotrimazole that works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. Candid Mouth Paint damages the fungal cell membrane and causes the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.

Use Candid Mouth Paint as prescribed by the physician. In some cases, Candid Mouth Paint may cause nausea, vomiting, itching, and unpleasant mouth sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult the doctor immediately.

Do not drink or eat anything for at least 30 minutes after using this medicine.
