Candistat 2 % Cream 15 Gm is applied topically.

Candistat 2 % Cream 15 Gm contains Miconazole (2 %) which works on your body in the following ways:

• Disrupts Fungal Cell Membrane: Miconazole inhibits the production of ergosterol, a crucial component of the fungal cell membrane. This action leads to increased permeability of the cell membrane.

• Leaks Cellular Contents: With an increased permeability, cellular contents tend to leak out. This leakage disrupts the functioning of fungal cells.

• Leads to Cell Death: The leakage of cellular contents eventually causes the death of fungal cells, effectively managing your infection.

• Store Candistat 2 % Cream 15 Gm at room temperature.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you are managing a fungal skin infection such as athlete's foot, ensure to keep your feet dry. Opt for breathable footwear and change your socks daily.

• For conditions like jock itch, avoid wearing tight undergarments; instead, choose loose-fitting cotton ones that allow air circulation and minimise moisture build-up.
