About Candifin 1% Lotion
Candifin 1% Lotion is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).
Candifin 1% Lotion contains Terbinafine, an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes, which are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.
Candifin 1% Lotion is only for external use. Use Candifin 1% Lotion as advised by the doctor. Avoid contact of Candifin 1% Lotion with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case Candifin 1% Lotion comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience side effects like itching, irritation, or skin peeling. Most of these side effects of Candifin 1% Lotion do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Candifin 1% Lotion or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Candifin 1% Lotion. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Candifin 1% Lotion catches fire and burns easily, which is a serious fire hazard. If you have psoriasis, inform your doctor before using Candifin 1% Lotion.
Description
The Candifin F lotion is made to effectively treat skin infections. It brings together two potent ingredients - terbinafine, an antifungal component, and fluticasone propionate, a steroid. Together, these ingredients stop the growth of harmful fungi on the skin and block certain chemical receptors that cause skin irritation. This powerful combination works to minimise symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching.
The Candifin lotion acts on infection-causing microorganisms, providing significant relief from distressing symptoms. Regular use as per doctor's advice can lead to noticeable improvement in skin health within a few days.
However, it's important to maintain cleanliness in the affected area for maximum benefit. While some common side effects like skin irritation may occur, they usually subside as your body adjusts to the medication. Always consult your doctor if side effects persist or cause discomfort.
