Canesten Cream (20g) contains the active ingredient clotrimazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent designed to treat skin infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, and fungal sweat rash by destroying the fungus and relieving irritation. It is commonly used for both general antifungal purposes and specialized Thrush External Cream (2% or 1%) formulations.
Key Details
- Active Ingredient: Clotrimazole (available in 1% or 2% formulations, depending on usage).
- Usage: Applied thinly 2–3 times daily to the affected area.
- Target Infections: Athlete’s foot, ringworm, intertrigo (skin fold rashes), and external genital thrush.
- Duration: Generally requires a minimum of two weeks, sometimes 3–4 weeks for complete clearance.
- Precautions: Can cause irritation; check with a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Action and Usage
- How it works: Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi, which helps to clear the infection and associated symptoms.
- Application: Clean and dry the area thoroughly, then apply the cream thinly.
- Important Warnings:
- It may damage latex products like condoms and diaphragms, so alternative precautions are advised for at least five days after use.
- Fabric (clothing/bedding) in contact with the cream burns more easily.
- It should only be used externally.
