CANDIMAX B CREAM

CANDIMAX B Cream is a prescription topical medicine used for the treatment of fungal skin infections associated with itching, redness, inflammation, and irritation. It is commonly formulated with Clotrimazole, an antifungal agent, and Beclometasone Dipropionate, a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammatory symptoms.

The cream is often prescribed for fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, and infected skin folds where itching and redness are significant. While Clotrimazole targets the fungus causing the infection, Beclometasone helps relieve discomfort by reducing swelling, redness, and irritation.

CANDIMAX B Cream provides dual-action relief by treating both the infection and the associated inflammatory symptoms. It should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional and for the prescribed duration.
