FAQs

CANESTAN SOLUTION 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 CANESTAN SOLUTION for more than four weeks. If used for prolonged durations, the fungus may become resistant to CANESTAN SOLUTION.

About CANESTAN SOLUTION

CANESTAN SOLUTION belongs to the class of anti-fungal medications known as imidazoles, primarily used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, fungal nappy rash, fungal sweat rash and thrush. A fungal infection, also known as mycosis, is a skin infection caused by fungus.

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

Consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or nursing mother. Do not use any other topical medications simultaneously along with CANESTAN SOLUTION without a doctor's recommendation.
