About Canix-H cream 15gm

Canix-H cream 15gm Uses

• Fungal skin infections such as ringworm and athlete's foot

What Experts Say

Clotrimazole clears the fungus by damaging its cell membrane, while hydrocortisone calms the redness, swelling, and itching around the infection.

It works best on inflamed fungal rashes, and is usually applied twice daily for no longer than two weeks.

Using it for longer than advised can thin the skin, so it should be stopped once the infection and inflammation settle.

Drug Interactions

Canix-H cream has a low interaction risk since it works on the skin surface.

• Other topical steroids: Avoid applying together, as it raises the risk of skin thinning.
• Occlusive dressings: Covering the area tightly increases steroid absorption and side effect risk.

Risks and warnings

• Prolonged use: Long term use can thin the skin or cause stretch marks.
• Face and skin folds: Use with caution on thin skin areas due to higher absorption.
• Broken skin: Avoid applying on open wounds or infected cuts.
• Children: Use only under medical guidance in young children.
