Canesten Dermatological Spray is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch and fungal sweat rash.
If you are unsure whether you have one of these fungal skin infections, seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.
The atomiser spray is particularly suitable for infections covering large or hairy areas.
The active substance in Canesten Dermatological Spray is clotrimazole. Clotrimazole belongs to a group of medicines called imidazoles and is an antifungal agent which fights the cause of fungal skin infections.
How to use:
If Canesten Dermatological Spray has been prescribed for you by your doctor, follow any instructions he/she may have given you. If you purchased this product without a prescription, follow these directions closely:
• Before the first application, press the atomiser head down once or twice. The spray is then ready to use.
• If the feet are infected, they should be washed and dried thoroughly, especially between the toes, before applying the spray.
• Canesten Dermatological Spray should be applied to the affected areas two or three times daily, from a distance of about 6 inches.
• The duration of the treatment depends upon the type of infection. Generally a minimum of two weeks is required, although up to four weeks may be necessary.
• If you have athlete’s foot, it may help to use an antifungal dusting powder as well. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend one.
The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment although signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
