Canesten Solution is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, fungal intertrigo and fungal infections of the outer and middle ear. If you are unsure whether you have one of these fungal skin infections, seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.

Canesten Solution gets to work quickly. Most people will feel their skin feeling less itchy and looking less red within 48 hours. It may, however, take longer for flaky or scaly skin to properly heal.

Caution:

If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to clotrimazole or the other ingredient of Canesten Solution, macrogol 400.

Canesten Solution and Sofradex drops may cause a heat reaction when used together. Consult your doctor before using these products together in the ear.

If you are pregnant, breast-feeding or trying for a baby, tell your doctor or midwife before using Canesten Solution. If you have informed your doctor or midwife already, follow his/her instructions carefully.
