Candiderm (Lotrimazole) Cream 15 g Tube

Ingredients:

Lotrimazole is the active ingredient in Candiderm cream. It belongs to the class of antifungal medications.

Dosage:

Apply a thin layer of Candiderm cream to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

Candiderm cream is indicated for the treatment of fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch.

Contraindications:

Do not use Candiderm cream if you are allergic to lotrimazole or any other ingredients in the cream.

Directions:

Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream. Rub it gently into the skin. Wash hands after application.

Scientific Evidence:

Lotrimazole, the active ingredient in Candiderm cream, works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. Studies have shown its efficacy in treating various fungal skin infections. Research published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology demonstrated the effectiveness of lotrimazole in relieving symptoms and eradicating fungal infections.

Additional Information:

It is important to continue using Candiderm cream for the full prescribed length of time, even if symptoms improve. Consult a healthcare professional if there is no improvement after 4 weeks of use.

Pharmacologically, lotrimazole interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting this process, lotrimazole weakens the fungal cell wall, leading to cell death and eventual elimination of the infection.

Candiderm cream has shown comparable effectiveness to other antifungal creams on the market. However, its broad spectrum of activity against various fungi makes it a popular choice for dermatological conditions.
