Apply 2-3 times daily on the affected area. CANDERM may also be dusted inside articles of clothing and footwear which are in contact with the infected area.
Firstly, Canderm powder is useful in fungal skin infections that appear between the toes (Athlete’s foot). Secondly, in the groin area (jock itch). Thirdly, it is helpful in skin folds (sweat rash). Canderm powder absorbs excessive perspiration or exudate (hyperhidrosis), moisture-aggravated heat and friction rashes (intertrigo), soothing irritated skin and protection against skin rashes.
Canderm contains clotrimazole which is clinically proven to cure fungal skin infections. Furthermore, it reduces itching, red rash and scaling due to moist areas, skin friction and fungal skin infections.
Clotrimazole is the major active ingredient in Canderm powder, i.e., the primary mechanism is antifungal action. Thus, this leads to on-label uses mainly covering skin fungal problems.
Furthermore, Canderm powder also contains Zinc oxide (in addition to clotrimazole). Zinc oxide has the following benefits:
Firstly, Canderm powder contains both clotrimazole and zinc oxide, which are clinically proven to cure fungal skin infections and reduce itching, skin friction, and fungal skin infection. Secondly, it reduces red rash and scaling due to moist areas.
Specifically, Canderm in its powder form is convenient to apply and highly suitable for moist areas where it helps keep the area dry. Thus, it adds comfort for the patient. Additionally, Canderm powder is available in a floral fragrance, which feels pleasant when applied. Hence, it adds further to patient comfort.
In some instances, ointments and creams feel greasy or sticky, leading to discomfort while wearing socks or footwear. On the contrary, Canderm powder can be dusted on cloth and footwear. Thus, it is preferred over ointments and creams. It is beneficial in areas between the toes, skin folds and in excessive perspiration where dryness is most desired.
Canderm powder is a quality product manufactured at a WHO-approved facility.
