About Candid Gold Powder, 50 gm

Candid Gold Powder, 50 gm is a combination medication used to treat fungal skin infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch and infections caused due to excessive sweating. Besides this, it also treats a fungal infection caused by yeast known as Candida. 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).

Candid Gold Powder, 50 gm combines two drugs: Clotrimazole (antifungal) and Allantoin (moisturizer). The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Clotrimazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi. Allantoin is a moisturizing agent that works, forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps in the water. This moisturises the outermost layer of skin and makes it smoother and softer. Also, it breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin.

Candid Gold Powder, 50 gm is only for external use. Some people may experience itching, pain, redness, irritation, burning or stinging sensation. Most of these side effects of Candid Gold Powder, 50 gm do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Candid Gold Powder, 50 gm or any other medicines, please tell your doctor.
