Candid-V Gel comprises clotrimazole, which works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. Candid-V Gel eliminates the infection by causing holes in the fungal cell membrane and allows the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus.

These side effects of Candid-V Gel eventually subside without medical intervention. Consult your doctor immediately if any side effects worsen or persist.
