What is Canazole Lotion used for?

Canazole Lotion contains clotrimazole, which is an antifungal medicine used to treat and prevent fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm infections, etc.

Can I stop using Canazole Lotion when I feel better?

Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, completing the full course of treatment would be suggested even if you feel better.

What if I miss a dose?

Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.

Is it safe to use Canazole Lotion for an extended period of time?

Unless directed by a doctor, do not use Canazole Lotion for more than four weeks. If used for prolonged durations, the fungus may become resistant to Canazole Lotion.

What are the side effects of Canazole Lotion?

The side effects of Canazole Lotion include red/irritated skin and burning or stinging sensation. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Canazole Lotion is effective against which fungi?

Canazole Lotion is effective against Trichophyton species which cause athlete’s foot, ringworm infection, and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the groin or buttocks). Additionally, it works well against yeast known as Candida which commonly causes vaginal thrush (infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans).

I have started using Canazole Lotion. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?

The symptoms of skin infection, such as soreness or itching, should improve within a few days of using Canazole Lotion. However, the signs such as scaling and redness may take longer to disappear. Even if you feel better do not stop using Canazole Lotion before the duration advised by your doctor.

For how long should I use Canazole Lotion? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?

You are advised to use Canazole Lotion for as long as it is recommended by your doctor. The type of infection determines the duration of treatment. In general, for tinea infection, the treatment is continued for 1 month and for candida infection, at least for 15 days. Do not stop using Canazole Lotion on your own even if you feel better as the infection may relapse as it takes some time to kill the fungus.

Is Canazole Lotion safe to use in children?

Canazole Lotion is safe for children only if used as advised by the doctor. Although minor side effects may occur, they are often not troublesome. However, if your child develops redness, burning sensation, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop using Canazole Lotion and consult your doctor.

Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?

Avoid rubbing the affected areas too much and keep them clean and dry. Although, itching may want you to scratch, avoid scratching as it will damage the skin’s surface and cause the infection to spread further. Avoid sharing towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
