Candid B Lotion

Product Description

Candid B Lotion is a medication containing the active ingredients clotrimazole and beclomethasone. It is available in the form of a lotion.

Uses

Candid B Lotion is primarily used to treat various fungal skin infections, such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It provides relief from itching, redness, and inflammation associated with these infections. Additionally, the beclomethasone component helps to reduce swelling and itching caused by certain skin conditions, including eczema and dermatitis.

How to Use

Candid B Lotion is for external use only. Before applying the lotion, clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. Shake the lotion well before use. Apply a thin layer of the lotion to the affected skin and gently rub it in until it is absorbed. It is usually applied twice daily or as directed by the healthcare professional. Wash your hands after application, unless the treated area is on your hands.

How It Works

Candid B Lotion combines two active ingredients. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of fungi, thereby treating the underlying fungal infection. Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and suppresses the immune response, providing relief from itching and inflammation associated with certain skin conditions.

Benefits

The primary benefit of Candid B Lotion is its ability to effectively treat fungal skin infections and alleviate associated symptoms such as itching and inflammation. The combination of clotrimazole and beclomethasone provides a comprehensive solution for managing these conditions.
