Product Information

Canesten Dual Action Spray is used to treat skin infections caused by yeast, dermatophytes, mould and other fungi. It is designed to treat: You may experience mild side effects when using Canesten’s cream or oral treatment. Side effects associated with Canesten’s cream include: Clotrimazole has a broad antimycotic spectrum of action in vitro and in vivo, which includes dermatophytes, yeasts, moulds, etc. Canesten Dual Action acts primarily by damaging the permeability barrier in the cell membrane of fungi. Canesten Dual Action causes inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis, an essential constituent of fungal cell membranes. If ergosterol synthesis is either completely or partially inhibited, the cell is no longer able to construct an intact and functional cell membrane ,. Because ergosterol directly promotes the growth of fungal cells in a hormone‐like fashion, rapid onset of the above events leads to dose-dependent inhibition of fungal growth . Fungal skin infections are easily spread, so make sure you don't share personal items like towels or flannels until the infection has cleared up fully.

Don't use this cream to treat nail or scalp infections. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on treating infections in these areas. This treatment is used to treat thrush, a fungal infection that can affect the genitals and skin on both men and women.

The cream included in this dual treatment contains clotrimazole, an antifungal medication that when applied topically kills the fungi in the affected area. It worksby interfering with the cell membrane of the fungus, causing the cell contents to leak out, destroying the fungus and preventing it from reproducing. This, in addition to the soothing properties of the cream, stops itchiness when applied to the skin. How long does the treatment take to work?Athlete’s Foot is a fungal skin infection that typically appears between the toes, soles, and sides of the feet.

Clotrimazole also has an antibacterial action and kills the bacteria that can cause the feet to smell. How do I use Canesten dual action cream?Clotrimazole acts against fungi by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Inhibition of ergosterol synthesis leads to structural and functional impairment of the fungal cytoplasmic membrane. Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. In vitro clotrimazole inhibits the multiplication of Corynebacteria and gram-positive cocci - with the exception of Enterococci - in concentrations of 0.5-10 µg/ml substrate.

There are limited data regarding the use of clotrimazole in pregnant women. Animal studies do not show direct or indirect harmful effects on reproduction. Although the topical application of clotrimazole may result in very low serum and tissue levels, the use of clotrimazole topical cream by pregnant women is not recommended unless it is advised by the prescribing physician. Canesten Dual Action topical cream should not be used in the first trimester of pregnancy unless it is considered by the physician to be essential to patient well-being . However, if you are using any other creams, ointments or lotions (including moisturisers or cosmetics) on the same area of skin, it's best not to apply these at the same time as Canesten. This is because they could dilute the medicine and make it less effective at treating the infection. Always leave about 30 minutes between applying different products to the same area of skin, to give them time to be absorbed.

As the listed undesirable effects are based on spontaneous reports, assigning an accurate frequency of occurrence for each is not possible. The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out. By causing holes to appear in the cell membranes, clotrimazole allows essential constituents of the fungal cells to leak out. This kills the fungi and treats the infection.

Adult: It should be applied thinly and evenly to the conjunctival sac every 4 hours daily or as advised by a physician.
