Product details
Candid Original Antifungal Dusting Powder
Protect your skin with Candid Original Dusting Powder, a widely trusted, doctor-prescribed expert skin solution manufactured by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Formulated to provide professional-grade protection against a spectrum of dermal issues, this clinically proven formula targets fungal elements while absorbing heavy perspiration to keep your skin dry, smooth, and comfortable.
Key Benefits & Target Uses
- Expert Fungal Treatment: Directly combats superficial skin infections such as ringworm (tinea corporis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and athlete’s foot (tinea pedis).
- Soothes Sweat Rash & Chafing: Prevents and calms severe heat rash, friction chafing, and redness in sensitive skin folds like the underarms, groin, and under-breast areas.
- Instant Itching & Irritation Relief: Quickly relieves the intense itching, burning sensations, and discomfort associated with microbial overgrowth.
- Advanced Moisture Control: Effectively absorbs sweat to eliminate the damp, humid microenvironments where fungal pathogens multiply.
Composition & Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Clotrimazole IP (1% w/w) – A premier, broad-spectrum imidazole antifungal agent known for its targeted cellular action.
- Excipient Base: Premium purified talc base optimized for superior absorbency and anti-friction glide.
How It Works
The active agent, Clotrimazole, works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, which is an essential structural element of the fungal cell membrane. The depletion of ergosterol creates structural gaps in the membrane, leading to the leakage of intracellular components and effectively killing the fungal cells.
Application Instructions
- Clean the affected skin area thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before application.
- Sprinkle a thin, uniform layer of powder over the irritated skin and across a small border of surrounding healthy skin.
- Apply 2 to 3 times daily, or precisely follow the treatment routine advised by your healthcare practitioner.
- Continue regular application for the full duration of your treatment timeline—even if symptoms clear up within days—to ensure the infection does not return.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap after every use.
Safety Precautions & Warnings
- External Use Only: Formulated strictly for topical application on the skin. Avoid accidental contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, inner ears, or open mucous membranes.
- Do Not Apply on Broken Skin: Avoid applying the powder into fresh cuts, open bleeding wounds, severe burns, or raw, fluid-oozing areas.
- Pediatric Consultation: Consult a qualified pediatrician or doctor before applying this product to infants for diaper rash management.
- No Occlusive Wraps: Avoid wrapping or covering the treated skin area with airtight plastic dressings unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
Potential Side Effects
Candid Dusting Powder is exceptionally well-tolerated. However, minor localized adjustments can sometimes manifest at the application site, including:
- Mild localized skin redness or warming
- A temporary stinging or minor burning sensation upon application
- Occasional dry flaking or light localized peeling
Discontinue application immediately and contact a physician if you experience escalating hypersensitivity symptoms like hives, swelling of the face or throat, or breathing complications.
