Caniten 100 MG Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Local irritation, burning, or itching in the vaginal area
Redness or swelling of the vulva
Abdominal cramps

These side effects are typically mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, do consult your doctor. Rarely, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction characterised by severe itching, rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these symptoms.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Caniten 100 MG Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Local irritation: If you notice irritation after using this medicine in the morning, consult your doctor.
Abdominal cramps: Seek medical attention if you experience severe cramps after using the medicine.

Caniten 100 MG Tablet 10 contains Clotrimazole (100 mg) and works in the body as follows:

Disruption of Fungal Cell Membrane: Clotrimazole disrupts the cell membrane of the fungi, causing essential cellular components to leak out. This leakage essentially impairs the normal functioning of the fungi.
Inhibition of Fungal Growth: By disrupting the cell membrane and causing leakage of cellular components, Clotrimazole inhibits the growth and multiplication of the fungi, effectively managing the vaginal infection.

Pregnancy

While Clotrimazole is generally deemed safe during pregnancy, it is prudent to consult your doctor before taking an Caniten 100 MG Tablet 10.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding mothers should seek medical counsel before using Caniten 100 MG Tablet 10 as it's essential to analyse the benefits versus any potential risks.
