Say goodbye to the discomfort and itch of fungal skin infections! Canesten 1% Clotrimazole Cream is a powerful over-the-counter antifungal medication clinically proven to effectively treat a broad spectrum of fungal infections.
How Canesten 1% Clotrimazole Cream Works:
Canesten 1% contains clotrimazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent. Clotrimazole works by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, effectively killing them or stopping their growth. This leads to a reduction in symptoms like itching, burning, and irritation.
Conditions Treated by Canesten 1% Clotrimazole Cream:
- Athlete's Foot: Experience relief from the itching, burning, dryness, and scaling associated with athlete's foot.
- Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): Soothe the discomfort and irritation caused by fungal groin infections, often characterized by itching, burning, and a red, scaly rash.
- Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Eliminate the red, scaly patches and itching caused by ringworm on various parts of the body.
- Fungal Nappy Rash (Candidal Dermatitis): Provide relief for your baby's delicate skin from the discomfort and soreness caused by fungal diaper rash. Always consult a pediatrician before using Canesten 1% on infants.
- Sweat Rash (Miliaria): Calm redness, itching, and discomfort caused by sweat rash, allowing your skin to breathe freely.
- External Symptoms of Vaginal Thrush (Vulvovaginal Candidiasis): Reduce itching, burning, inflammation, and soreness in the external vaginal area. Canesten 1% only treats the external symptoms. Consult your doctor for a complete thrush treatment plan, which may include internal medication.
Effective Usage Tips for Canesten 1% Clotrimazole Cream:
- Cleanse: Before applying Canesten 1%, thoroughly wash and dry the affected area using mild soap and water. This removes dirt and debris that can hinder the cream's effectiveness.
- Apply: Apply a thin layer of Canesten 1% cream to the affected area(s) 2-3 times daily. Gently rub the cream into the skin until absorbed.
- Coverage: A strip of cream about half a centimeter long is sufficient to treat an area roughly the size of an adult hand.
- Duration: Continue treatment for the recommended duration based on the specific infection:
- Athlete's Foot and Ringworm: At least 1 month
- Jock Itch and Sweat Rash: 2-4 weeks
- Fungal Nappy Rash: Follow your pediatrician's guidance
- External Thrush Symptoms: 1-2 weeks (consult your doctor for complete treatment)
- Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene practices during treatment. Wash hands thoroughly after applying the cream to prevent spreading the infection.
- Prevention: For athlete's foot, keep feet clean and dry, especially between the toes. Wear cotton socks and well-ventilated shoes.
Important Information:
- Consult your doctor: If symptoms persist after 4 weeks of treatment, consult your doctor or pharmacist for further evaluation.
- Discontinue use: Stop using Canesten 1% if you experience any allergic reactions or irritation.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Canesten 1% if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.
