Canesten Dusting Powder 100gm

Canesten Antifungal Dusting Powder is used for managing fungal skin infections like athlete's foot and ringworm. With clotrimazole, it inhibits fungal growth, relieving symptoms like itching, redness, and irritation.

• Clotrimazole IP 1% w/w: Clotrimazole is renowned for its powerful antifungal properties. Clotrimazole works by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, effectively stopping their growth. It helps control the spread of infections. This action is particularly effective against common fungal pathogens responsible for conditions like athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch and other superficial fungal infections. By targeting the root cause of these infections, Clotrimazole not only alleviates symptoms such as itching, redness and irritation but also helps clear the infection completely over time. 
   
• Talc (52.25 - 65.0% w/w): Talc absorbs moisture, keeping the skin dry and reducing friction. This helps manage rashes, irritation and prickly heat. Talc also creates a protective barrier on the skin, making it difficult for fungi to thrive.
   
• Starch (35.0 - 50.0% w/w): Starch is a natural absorbent that helps keep the skin dry by soaking up excess moisture. It also soothes irritated skin, providing relief from itching and discomfort associated with fungal infections and prickly heat.
   
• Cabosil (0.15 - 0.22% w/w): Cabosil or colloidal silicon dioxide, acts as a thickening agent and helps the powder spread evenly across the skin. It also enhances the powder's ability to stay on the skin, providing longer-lasting protection and relief.
   
• Perfume: Perfume in the powder adds a pleasant fragrance, masking any unpleasant odours caused by fungal infections or excessive sweating. It helps keep the skin smelling fresh and clean.

• Helps Manage Fungal Infections: Canesten Antifungal Dusting Powder contains Clotrimazole IP 1% w/w, a potent antifungal agent. Clotrimazole works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, stopping the growth of fungi responsible for infections like athlete's foot, ringworm and jock itch. This targeted action helps clear infections efficiently, offering a comprehensive solution to common fungal issues.
   
• Helps Reduce Itching and Irritation: The Clotrimazole in Canesten Antifungal Dusting Powder not only helps manage the fungal infection but also alleviates associated symptoms such as itching and irritation. By addressing the underlying cause, it reduces discomfort and promotes healing, providing relief from the bothersome symptoms of fungal infections.
   
• Soothes Prickly Heat: The Talc and Starch in Canesten Antifungal Dusting Powder help soothe prickly heat. These ingredients absorb excess moisture and reduce skin friction which are common causes of prickly heat. By keeping the skin dry and comfortable, the powder helps alleviate the itching and discomfort associated with prickly heat.
   
• Helps Reduce Skin Moisture: Talc (52.25 - 65.0% w/w) and Starch (35.0 - 50.0% w/w) work together to absorb moisture from the skin. This helps maintain a dry environment which is crucial for managing fungal growth. By minimising moisture, the powder reduces the risk of infections and keeps the skin dry and comfortable.
   
• Creates a Protective Barrier: Talc and Cabosil form a protective layer on the skin, shielding it from further irritation and potential infections. This barrier helps manage external irritants and friction from worsening existing skin conditions, providing a soothing and protective effect.
   
• Long-lasting Protection: The combination of Clotrimazole, Talc and Starch in Canesten Antifungal Dusting Powder ensures that the product adheres well to the skin. This provides extended relief and protection, helping to manage symptoms and control the recurrence of fungal infections throughout the day. The powder's adherence and moisture-absorbing properties contribute to its long-lasting efficacy.
