Candiforce 200 MG Description

Candiforce 200 Capsule is a medicine used to treat fungal infections. It works by preventing the growth of the fungus and is effective in treating infections of the mouth, throat, vagina, fingernails, and toes. It damages the cell membranes of the fungi, leading to their death.

You should take Candiforce 200 Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the capsule whole with food. To ensure the best results, take it at regular intervals and continue to use it until your prescription is finished, even if your symptoms have improved. Stopping the medication too soon may result in the infection returning, and missing doses can increase your risk of developing infections that are difficult to treat in the future. A few other capsules with itraconazole as their composition are It Mac 200mg capsule, Canditral 200mg capsule, Itromed 200mg capsule, Itrancure 200mg capsule, and Itaspor 200mg capsule.

If your condition does not improve or worsens, inform your doctor. While taking this medicine, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene, keep the infected area clean and dry, and wash your clothes separately. Avoid sharing personal items, such as towels or clothes, with others to prevent the spread of the infection.
