Medicinal Benefits

Candifung-V Gel comprises clotrimazole, an antifungal agent that is used to treat vaginal fungal infections such as vaginal thrush. Candifung-V Gel works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. Candifung-V Gel eliminates the infection by causing holes in the fungal cell membrane and allows the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus.
