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.
