About Canesten Cream
Canesten Cream is primarily used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, fungal nappy rash, fungal sweat rash and thrush. A fungal infection, also known as mycosis, is a skin infection caused by a fungus.
Canesten Cream contains clotrimazole, which works by damaging the fungal cell membrane and causing the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.
In some cases, Canesten Cream may cause itching, redness, dryness, burning and stinging sensations. The majority of these side effects of Canesten Cream eventually fade away over time without the need for medical intervention. Consult your doctor if any side effects worsen or persist.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Canesten Cream. Consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or nursing mother. Do not use any other topical medications simultaneously along with Canesten Cream without a doctor's recommendation. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects.
