Canesten Clotrimazole Cream, 20g - Bayer In Pakistan

Canesten Clotrimazole Cream 20g by Bayer is a topical antifungal medication formulated to treat a broad range of superficial fungal skin infections. The active ingredient, clotrimazole (1% w/w), belongs to the imidazole class of antifungal agents and works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of fungi and yeasts that cause infections. This helps not only stop the spread of fungi but also relieves common symptoms like itching, redness, burning and irritation.

Key Features & Benefits:

Antifungal Action: Effectively treats fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), jock itch (tinea cruris), cutaneous candidiasis and other yeast-related skin conditions by stopping fungal growth.
Symptom Relief: Helps reduce itching, burning, redness and irritation associated with fungal infections, promoting skin comfort and healing.
Trusted Formula: Contains clotrimazole, a well-established antifungal agent with broad-spectrum activity against dermatophytes and yeasts.
Easy to Use: Cream base allows for smooth application and absorption into affected skin areas.

How It Works:

Clotrimazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of the fungal cell membrane. Disruption of ergosterol production weakens the fungal cell membrane integrity, ultimately halting growth and leading to fungal cell death, which helps clear the infection.

Directions for Use:

Clean and thoroughly dry the affected skin area before application.

Apply a thin layer of Canesten Clotrimazole Cream to the infected area and surrounding skin, usually 2–3 times daily or as directed by a healthcare provider.

Gently massage the cream until fully absorbed.

Continue treatment for the full recommended duration—often 1–4 weeks depending on the type and severity of the infection—even if symptoms improve early, to prevent recurrence.
