CANESTEN Plus Clotrimazole and Hydrocortisone Cream is a broad spectrum anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory cream.
It contains two active ingredients; clotrimazole and hydrocortisone. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which treats the root cause of fungal skin infections. Hydrocortisone is a mild topical steroid which reduces the swelling, redness and itching associated with inflammation of the skin.
Used twice daily, this 2 in 1 action enables rapid relief from the symptoms of athlete’s foot, jock itch & fungal nappy rash.
Use:
Apply thinly and evenly with gentle rubbing to the affected area twice daily.
Ingredients:
CANESTEN PLUS Clotrimazole and Hydrocortisone Cream contains 10 mg/g of clotrimazole and 11.2 mg/g of hydrocortisone acetate (equivalent to 10 mg/g hydrocortisone) as active ingredients.
Important Notes:
Because of its corticosteroid content, CANESTEN PLUS cream should not be applied to large areas (more than 10% of the body surface) and/or under occlusive dressings (such as nappies and bandages) because this may increase absorption.
CANESTEN PLUS cream should not be used:
- if you have hypersensitivity to the active substances,
- on broken skin
- for diseases affecting the skin (such as acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, lues, tuberculosis, etc.)
- in or near the eyes
- for viral skin diseases (e.g. herpes simplex, chicken pox, etc.)
