Canesten 1% Cream 30gm

Canesten 1% Cream 30gm is an antifungal medication used solely for external use. It belongs to the class of drugs known as antifungals.

Clotrimazole works by disrupting the protective covering of fungal cells, which weakens their membrane by interfering with the production of ergosterol (a crucial component of the fungal membrane). It inhibits the growth and reproduction of fungal cells, ultimately preventing their survival.

Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the recommended dosage and duration of clotrimazole. 

Possible side effects may include skin rash, peeling, itching, redness, burning sensation, or irritation at the site of application.

Avoid using if you have known hypersensitivity or allergy to it or any of its components. Allergic reactions may manifest as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if any signs of hypersensitivity occur.

This cream, powder, or solution is not meant for use in the eyes. If you have a fungal infection in or around the eyes, consult a healthcare professional for appropriate ophthalmic antifungal medication.

If you forget to apply for this medicine, do so as soon as you remember. However, if the next scheduled application is near, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Avoid doubling applications. Seek your doctor's advice on managing missed doses effectively.

Always use it as directed by your healthcare provider and be cautious of any adverse reactions or discomfort while using the medication
