About Canditas V Gel

Canditas V Gel belongs to the class of anti-fungal medications known as imidazoles, primarily used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, fungal nappy rash, fungal sweat rash and thrush. A fungal infection, also known as mycosis, is a skin infection caused by fungus.

Canditas V Gel comprises clotrimazole, which works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. Canditas V Gel damages the fungal cell membrane and causes the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.

In some cases, Canditas V Gel may cause itching, redness, dryness, burning and stinging sensation. The majority of these side effects of Canditas V Gel eventually fade away over time without the need for medical intervention. Consult your doctor if any side effects worsen or persist.

Consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or nursing mother. Do not use any other topical medications simultaneously along with Canditas V Gel without a doctor's recommendation. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects.
