Introduction to CANCAP 100 MG TABLET VT

CANCAP 100 MG TABLET VT is a type of antifungal treatment meant specifically for topical utilization. It falls under the pharmaceutical category of antifungals.

Clotrimazole operates by breaking down the defensive layer around fungal cells, causing a disruption in their membrane through the restriction of ergosterol production (an essential component of the fungal membrane). Clotrimazole thwarts the development and replication of fungal cells, effectively hindering their survival.

Adhere to your physician's guidance regarding clotrimazole's advised dosage and duration. Prior to application, adequately agitate the container to confirm uniform distribution on the infected area.

Probable side effects may encompass skin exfoliation, itchiness, reddening, a burning sensation, or irritation on the application site.

If any indications of an allergic response eventuate, cease use and immediately seek medical consultation.

The cream or solution is not developed for use in the ocular region. If you have a fungal infection in or near the eyes, seek advice from a medical professional for suitable ophthalmic antifungal treatment.

FAQ's on CANCAP 100 MG TABLET VT

What is thrush? How does Cancap help?

Thrush is a very common infection which is caused by overgrowth of a yeast called Candida albicans. It causes itching and burning around the entrance of vagina. In case of thrush, one may experience thick, heavier than usual discharge, appearing like cottage cheese. Cancap is an antifungal cream. It is used to kill the fungus or prevent the growth of fungus at the site of infection.

How should Cancap be applied?

You should wash your hands properly before using Cancap. Cancap comes along with an applicator. Fill the applicator with the cream and insert it into the vagina. Release the medicine into the vagina and remove the applicator. Use it every day before going to bed for 7 days. Wash the applicator after each use.

I had been taking tacrolimus and now I have been prescribed Cancap vaginal cream. Can I use them together?

Yes, you can use Cancap and tacrolimus together. However, you may have to keep a watch on the side effects of tacrolimus. Though it happens rarely, the risk of side effects may increase due to increase in levels of tacrolimus because of Cancap. But if it happens, talk to your doctor who will modify the dose of tacrolimus.

What should I do if the infection comes back?

Cancap can be used again if the candidal infection returns after 7 days. However, if the candidal infection recurs more than twice within six months, you should consult your doctor whether it is candidal infection or something else.

Will the use of Cancap affect my sex life?

Cancap has no effect on the sex drive or desire. However, it is advised to avoid vaginal intercourse as long as you are using Cancap. This is because Cancap will not be able to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Also, the medicine may damage the condoms and diaphragms and hence you may need other forms of contraception.

What precautions are necessary while using Cancap?

Cancap should not be used during menstruation as the cream will get washed off with blood flow. Track the menstrual cycle and make sure that the treatment is completed before the onset of menstruation. Do not use tampons, vaginal douches (washing the vagina with water or other fluids), spermicide (a contraceptive substance that destroys sperm) or other vaginal products while using Cancap.
