Candid V3 Tablet 3'S

CANDID V3 TABLET contains Clotrimazole, which belongs to the group of medicines called antifungals. It is used in the management of candidal vaginitis. Candidal vaginitis is an infection caused by yeast that affects the female genital organs such as the vagina and the vulva, which is the vagina's outer region. Candidal vaginitis causes itching in the vagina and areas surrounding it, abnormally smelly discharge, pain during intercourse, and painful urination. Pregnant women, women using contraceptives, women with weakened immune systems recently managed with antibiotics, and diabetic women are highly susceptible to this infection.

CANDID V3 TABLET works by managing the fungus' growth. Clotrimazole works by blocking the production of enzymes responsible for the growth of fungal cells. This inhibition results in the breakage of cell membranes and fungal cell abnormalities, finally leading to alterations in the membrane-based activity of fungus. These lead to fungal cell death and the management of further fungal growth.
