Canesten Extra Cream – Clotrimazole and Hydrocortisone, 30 g

Canesten Extra Cream is a broad-spectrum antifungal and with soothing properties topical treatment designed for inflamed fungal skin. This Canesten Extra formulation combines two active ingredients—clotrimazole and hydrocortisone—in a 30 g tube to address both the infection and the itching, redness, and swelling that often accompany it.

• Active ingredients: Contains clotrimazole (antifungal) and hydrocortisone (mild with soothing properties) to tackle the root infection and soothe irritated skin.
• Size and packaging: 30 g tube for convenient and controlled daily application.
• Broad-spectrum use: Clinically indicated for inflamed fungal skin conditions such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and fungal nappy rash.
• How to use: Apply the cream twice daily for up to 7 days; after this period, continue treatment with an antifungal-only cream for 2 weeks to help reduce recurrence.
• Symptom relief: Hydrocortisone helps reduce itching, redness, and swelling while the antifungal component targets the underlying infection.
• Durable usage plan: The two-phase approach provides short-term relief and a longer-term antifungal strategy to support ongoing skin health.

Canesten Extra Cream delivers targeted relief by addressing both the fungal infection and the associated inflammation. For continuation and prevention of recurrence, a follow-up antifungal-only regimen is recommended after the initial 7-day course. This structured approach helps you manage symptoms efficiently while supporting long-term skin comfort.
