Candid B Lotion is a clinically formulated, dual-action topical medication designed for the comprehensive management of fungal skin infections accompanied by inflammatory symptoms. It combines the potent antifungal agent Clotrimazole with the anti-inflammatory corticosteroid Beclomethasone Dipropionate, offering a targeted approach to eradicate pathogens while simultaneously reducing associated redness, swelling, and itching. This expert-formulated lotion ensures deep cutaneous penetration, providing rapid symptomatic relief and addressing the underlying infection, making it a preferred choice among dermatologists for conditions like candidiasis, tinea infections, and eczematous reactions complicated by fungal overgrowth.
Features
- Contains Clotrimazole USP 1% w/w and Beclomethasone Dipropionate IP 0.025% w/w
- Presented in a non-greasy, water-based lotion formulation for easy spreadability and absorption
- Pharmacologically optimized for broad-spectrum antifungal activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds
- Features a low-potency corticosteroid to minimize risk of cutaneous atrophy with prolonged use
- Alcohol-free and hypoallergenic base suitable for sensitive skin
- Packaged in an opaque, air-tight container to maintain stability of active ingredients
Benefits
- Provides rapid relief from itching, burning, and discomfort associated with fungal skin infections
- Effectively eliminates causative fungal organisms, preventing recurrence when used as directed
- Reduces inflammation, erythema, and scaling, promoting faster healing of affected skin
- Prevents secondary bacterial infections by restoring skin barrier integrity
- Convenient application format allows for coverage of larger or hairy areas unlike creams or ointments
- Minimizes risk of steroid-related side effects due to optimized concentration and short-term use protocol
Common use
Candid B Lotion is primarily indicated for the treatment of fungal skin infections where inflammation is a significant component. This includes intertriginous candidiasis (affecting skin folds such as groin, axillae, under breasts), tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), and fungal infections complicating eczematous or dermatitic conditions. It is particularly useful in moist areas where the lotion base provides a drying effect while delivering active ingredients. The preparation may also be used off-label under medical supervision for certain forms of seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis versicolor, and inflammatory dermatoses with suspected fungal involvement.
Dosage and direction
Apply a thin layer of Candid B Lotion to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by a physician. Gently massage until absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly before and after application unless treating hands. The treatment area should be cleansed and dried completely prior to application. Continue use for the full prescribed length of time, typically 2-4 weeks, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent recurrence. Do not cover with occlusive dressings unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider. For intertriginous areas, apply sparingly and ensure the skin is dry to avoid maceration.
Precautions
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, nostrils, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Do not apply on broken skin, ulcerated areas, or open wounds. Use with caution on the face, groin, or axillae due to higher absorption rates and increased risk of steroid-related adverse effects. Discontinue if irritation, hypersensitivity, or worsening of condition occurs. Prolonged use may lead to skin atrophy, striae, telangiectasia, or systemic absorption of corticosteroid. Not recommended for use in children under 12 years unless prescribed by a pediatric dermatologist. Use during pregnancy or lactation only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
Contraindications
Candid B Lotion is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Clotrimazole, Beclomethasone Dipropionate, or any other components of the formulation. It should not be used in viral skin infections (e.g., herpes simplex, varicella), cutaneous tuberculosis, untreated bacterial infections, or fungal infections solely affecting nails or scalp without concomitant skin involvement. Contraindicated in patients with rosacea, perioral dermatitis, or acne vulgaris. Avoid use in patients with widespread erythroderma or impaired skin barrier function unless under strict dermatological oversight.
Possible side effect
Common side effects may include local burning, stinging, itching, or irritation at the application site. These are usually mild and transient. Less frequently, dryness, erythema, peeling, or folliculitis may occur. With prolonged or inappropriate use, potential side effects include skin atrophy, hypopigmentation, striae, telangiectasia, hypertrichosis, and secondary infections. Allergic contact dermatitis to either active or inactive ingredients is possible. Systemic absorption of corticosteroid may rarely lead to adrenal suppression, especially when used over large areas, under occlusion, or in pediatric patients, manifesting as Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, or glucosuria.
Drug interaction
No specific drug interactions with systemic medications have been documented due to minimal systemic absorption when used topically as directed. However, concomitant use with other topical corticosteroids, keratolytics, or abrasive agents may increase the risk of local adverse effects or enhanced systemic absorption. Avoid simultaneous application with other antifungal preparations unless advised by a physician, as this may alter efficacy or increase irritation potential. Caution is advised when using on patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy, as corticosteroids may potentially exacerbate immunosuppression.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, apply it as soon as remembered. However, if it is almost time for the next application, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not apply a double dose to compensate for the missed one. Consistency in application is important for therapeutic efficacy, but occasional missed doses are unlikely to significantly impact overall treatment outcome if the regimen is promptly resumed.
Overdose
Topical overdose is unlikely to cause systemic toxicity due to limited absorption. However, excessive or prolonged application may lead to intensified local adverse effects such as severe skin atrophy, striae, or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression. Symptoms of systemic corticosteroid overdose include weight gain, edema, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and cushingoid features. In case of suspected overdose, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. Treatment is supportive and may include monitoring of adrenal function. There is no specific antidote.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15-30°C) in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging. Discard any product that has changed color, consistency, or shows signs of separation. Do not transfer to another container, as this may compromise stability and sterility.

Reviews
“As a practicing dermatologist with over 15 years of experience, I find Candid B Lotion to be exceptionally effective for inflammatory fungal infections. The lotion base is particularly advantageous in intertriginous areas where creams might cause maceration. My patients report rapid relief from itching, and clinical clearance is usually achieved within 2-3 weeks.” — Dr. A. Sharma, MD Dermatology
“I had a persistent fungal rash in my groin area that wasn’t responding to O antifungals. My doctor prescribed Candid B Lotion. The itching reduced within two days, and the rash completely cleared in three weeks. The lotion was non-sticky and absorbed quickly.” — R. Kapoor, Patient
“An excellent choice for moderate to severe tinea infections with significant inflammation. The combination therapy ensures both etiological and symptomatic treatment. I appreciate the balanced formulation that minimizes steroid-related risks while maintaining efficacy.” — Dr. L. Fernandez, Clinical Pharmacologist
“Used this for a fungal infection under my breasts. The lotion was easy to apply and didn’t stain clothes. Noticeable improvement within the first week. Completed the full course as advised, and no recurrence in 6 months.” — S. Mehta, Patient
“From a pharmacological perspective, the selection of beclomethasone dipropionate—a low-potency corticosteroid—with clotrimazole demonstrates thoughtful formulation design. It provides sufficient anti-inflammatory action without the higher risks associated with more potent steroids, making it suitable for longer-term management if necessary.” — Prof. K. Edwards, Pharmaceutical Sciences
