Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Candid B is a produced by a leading drug company in India, Glenmark. It has been in the market for quite a long time and it is not a fake. It is a good product for the correct indication. It contains an antifungal agent clotrimazole and a topical steroid beclomethasone dipropionate. Canesten plus is available in Europe with same antifungal but a different steroid.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
