CANDID LOTION

Directly Eradicates the Fungal Organism at the Cellular Level:
Candid Lotion does not merely mask the symptoms of fungal infection; it targets and destroys the fungal organism itself by dismantling the integrity of the cell membrane at the molecular level. This dual fungistatic and fungicidal activity ensures that both active infection and residual fungal colonisation are addressed, significantly reducing the risk of recurrence.

Rapid Symptomatic Relief from Itching and Inflammation:
The antifungal action of clotrimazole alleviates the immune-mediated inflammatory cascade triggered by fungal invasion, resulting in noticeable reduction of itching, redness, and burning sensations within the first few days of consistent application. This delivers meaningful comfort to the affected individual while the underlying infection is being resolved.

Broad-Spectrum Efficacy Across Multiple Fungal Species:
Candid Lotion is active against a wide range of clinically relevant fungi including Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Candida species, making it a versatile and reliable choice across a variety of fungal infection presentations. This broad-spectrum profile reduces the need for species-specific diagnosis before initiating topical treatment in straightforward superficial infections.

Lotion Vehicle for Superior Skin Penetration and Spreadability:
The lotion formulation offers a lightweight, non-greasy delivery system that spreads evenly across the affected surface and penetrates the stratum corneum efficiently to deliver clotrimazole to the site of fungal activity. This vehicle is particularly well-suited for larger or hair-covered areas where cream or ointment formulations may be difficult to apply uniformly.

Supports Complete Infection Clearance with Sustained Use:
Because fungal infections can persist subclinically even after visible symptoms resolve, the sustained application of Candid Lotion reinforces complete mycological clearance and restores the skin's natural barrier function. Completing the full recommended course helps prevent treatment failure and the development of antifungal resistance.

How to Use:

Candid Lotion is intended for external topical application only. Before applying, ensure the affected area is clean and completely dry, as moisture can reduce the efficacy of the active ingredient and promote continued fungal growth. Dispense a small amount of the lotion onto a clean fingertip and apply as a thin, even layer directly over the affected skin surface, extending slightly beyond the visible boundary of the infection. Gently massage until absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly before and after application unless the affected area is on the hands themselves. The lotion is typically applied once to twice daily, or as directed by a physician or veterinarian. If the lotion accidentally comes into contact with the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes, rinse the area thoroughly with clean water immediately. When used on animals, the product must only be applied under the direct recommendation and supervision of a registered veterinarian. Do not apply to open wounds, deeply abraded skin, or areas with active secondary bacterial infection without professional guidance.

Storage Advice:

Store unopened Candid Lotion 30 ml in a cool, dry place below 25 degrees Celsius away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Once opened, keep the cap tightly closed after each use to prevent contamination and evaporation of the vehicle. Avoid contact with eyes during storage and handling. Do not use after the best-before date printed on the bottle.
