About Candid V6 Mucoadhesive 100 MG Tablet

This medication is a popular medication when it comes to the treatment of fungal infections of the skin. It is used to include athlete’s foot, ringworm and jock itch. Apart from treating the infection, clotrimazole also reduces the symptoms of such skin infections, such as burning, itching and cracking of the skin.

The anti-fungal medication also helps treat fungal infections in the mouth and vagina. It works by disrupting the cell membrane formation of the fungal infection. This eventually causes the fungus to perish.

The drug exists in both topical and oral forms. Both of these are safe to use for children. However, some unforeseen effects may affect pregnant women using the topical form of the medicine, as the cream is absorbed under the skin.
