How Does It Work?

Interactions with other medicines

• Candid-V gel, as it is applied locally in the vagina is less likely to interact with other medicines.
• Please tell your doctor if you are using any other medicines, over-the-counter medicines (that you buy without a prescription) and herbal preparations.
• While using this medicine, do not stop, start or change the dosage of your medicines without consulting your doctor.
• Medicines like methotrexate and cyclosporin used to modify immune response, steroid medicines such as prednisolone and some antibiotics taken along may increase the risk of recurrent vaginal yeast infection. If you are on any of these, inform your doctor.

Interactions with food items

• Since Candid-V Gel is for external use only, there are no known interactions between vaginal clotrimazole and foods or drinks.
