About Candid-V Gel

Candid-V Gel belongs to the class of medications known as antifungals, primarily used to treat vaginal thrush (candidiasis). Vaginal thrush (candidiasis) is an infection of the vagina and/or vulva caused by candida.

Candid-V Gel comprises clotrimazole that works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. Candid-V Gel eliminates the infection by causing holes in the fungal cell membrane and allows the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus.

Use Candid-V Gel as recommended by the physician. In some cases, Candid-V Gel may cause abdominal pain, vulvovaginal pain, nausea, and application site reactions including itching, burning sensation, and irritation. These side effects of Candid-V Gel eventually subside without medical intervention. Consult your doctor immediately if any side effects worsen or persist.

If you are pregnant, planning to have a baby, or are a nursing mother, you should not use Candid-V Gel without a doctor's advice.
