How Does Candid (Clotrimazole)1% Cream Work?

Candid 1% Cream works by containing Clotrimazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent.

Clotrimazole blocks the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes.

Without ergosterol, fungal cells lose their structure and ability to grow, leading to the elimination of infection.

How to Use Candid 1% Cream?

Candid 1% Cream is meant strictly for external use only.

Apply a thin, even layer of the cream to the affected area 2–3 times daily or as directed by your doctor.

Before application, clean and dry the infected skin thoroughly.

Gently massage the cream until it is absorbed into the skin.

Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or open wounds. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.

And always wash your hands after applying the cream unless your hands are the treated area.

Do not cover the area with bandages unless advised by your doctor.

Use the medication for the full duration prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier.
