Caritra Gel belongs to the class of drugs called antifungals used in the treatment, prevention, and control of fungal infections, flaky discoloured patches on the back and chest and infections in neutropenia (low count of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell) or aids patients. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).

Caritra Gel contains Itraconazole, which works by destroying the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.

Caritra Gel is for external use only. Use Caritra Gel as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Caritra Gel for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Some people may experience an itchy skin rash, redness, or a burning sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Caritra Gel do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are using any other topical medicines, inform your doctor before starting Caritra Gel so that the dose may be adjusted. If you are allergic to Caritra Gel or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid contact of Caritra Gel with nose, mouth, or eyes as it may cause irritation. In case Caritra Gel comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to consult a doctor before using Caritra Gel.
