FAQs

Dermacan 2% Gel damages the fungal cell membrane and causes the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.

Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, completing the full course of treatment would be suggested even if you feel better.

Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.

Unless directed by a doctor, do not use Dermacan 2% Gel for more than four weeks. If used for prolonged durations, the fungus may become resistant to Dermacan 2% Gel.

About Dermacan 2% Gel

Dermacan 2% Gel comprises clotrimazole, which works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. Dermacan 2% Gel damages the fungal cell membrane and causes the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.
