About Canditas Powder
Canditas Powder is primarily used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, fungal nappy rash, and fungal sweat rash. A fungal infection, also known as mycosis, is a skin infection caused by a fungus.
Canditas Powder 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, Canditas Powder may cause mild burning or pain, irritation, redness, or itching. Most of these side effects eventually resolve over time and do not require medical attention. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects worsen or persist.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Canditas Powder. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing a child. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you are using to rule out any side effects.

The side effects of Canditas Powder include mild burning or pain, irritation, redness, or itching. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
The symptoms of skin infection, such as soreness or itching, should improve within a few days of using Canditas Powder. However, the signs, such as scaling and redness, may take longer to disappear. Even if you feel better, do not stop using Canditas Powder for the duration advised by your doctor.
Canditas Powder 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 Canditas Powder and consult your doctor.
Avoid rubbing the affected areas too much and keep them clean and dry. Although itching may make you want 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.
