Candid-V gel contains Clotrimazole, an antifungal medicine. Candid-V gel is used to manage fungal infections of the vagina. It reduces vaginal burning, itching and discharge caused due to fungal infection. Clotrimazole binds to the fungal cell membrane and inhibits its growth by altering the permeability of the cell membrane. The side effects associated with this medicine are vaginal itching, pain, burning, rashes on the outer skin of the vagina, vaginal discharge etc.

Candid-V gel is used to manage yeast infections of the vagina (vaginal thrush). Vaginal thrush is an infection caused by candida, a fungus. Candida is present on skin and vagina normally too. However, when vaginal pH is disturbed due to certain factors like pregnancy, soaps, ill- health, antibiotics, then candida start growing in excess. It leads to whitish discharge, itching, redness, swelling around the vagina. It reduces vaginal burning, itching and discharge caused due to infection
