How Does It Work?

• Candid-CL vaginal suppository contains clindamycin and clotrimazole as active substances.
• Clindamycin works by attaching to the genetic material of bacteria and preventing the production of substances required for their growth which controls their growth and reproduction.
• Clotrimazole works by attaching to the covering of the fungus cells. It destroys the covering and makes it porous. This slows the growth of the fungus and eventually kills it.
