CANDEX LOTION contains clotrimazole, which is an antifungal medicine used to treat and prevent fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm infections, etc.

CANDEX LOTION damages the fungal cell membrane and causes the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.

Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, completing the full course of treatment would be suggested even if you feel better.

Unless directed by a doctor, do not use CANDEX LOTION for more than four weeks. If used for prolonged durations, the fungus may become resistant to CANDEX LOTION.

The side effects of CANDEX LOTION include red/irritated skin and a burning or stinging sensation. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

CANDEX LOTION is effective against Trichophyton species which cause athlete’s foot, ringworm infection, and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the groin or buttocks). Additionally, it works well against yeast known as Candida which commonly causes vaginal thrush (infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans).

The symptoms of skin infection, such as soreness or itching, should improve within a few days of using CANDEX LOTION. However, the signs such as scaling and redness may take longer to disappear. Even if you feel better do not stop using CANDEX LOTION before the duration advised by your doctor.

You are advised to use CANDEX LOTION for as long as it is recommended by your doctor. The type of infection determines the duration of treatment. In general, for tinea infection, the treatment is continued for 1 month and for candida infection, at least for 15 days. Do not stop using CANDEX LOTION on your own even if you feel better as the infection may relapse as it takes some time to kill the fungus.

CANDEX LOTION is safe for children only if used as advised by the doctor. Although minor side effects may occur, they are often not troublesome. However, if your child develops redness, burning sensation, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop using CANDEX LOTION and consult your doctor.

Avoid rubbing the affected areas too much and keep them clean and dry. Although, itching may want you to scratch, avoid scratching as it will damage the skin’s surface and cause the infection to spread further. Avoid sharing towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
