Canpex Soap 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.

Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.

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

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

Canpex Soap 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 Canpex Soap. However, the signs such as scaling and redness may take longer to disappear. Even if you feel better do not stop using Canpex Soap before the duration advised by your doctor.

You are advised to use Canpex Soap 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 Canpex Soap on your own even if you feel better as the infection may relapse as it takes some time to kill the fungus.

Canpex Soap 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 Canpex Soap 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.
