Canesten Topical Solution 30 ml

Canesten Topical 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.

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

In some cases, Canesten Topical Solution may cause itching, redness, dryness, burning and stinging sensation. The majority of these side effects of Canesten Topical Solution eventually fade away over time without the need for medical intervention. Consult your doctor if any side effects worsen or persist.
