Canesten Thrush External Cream 2% w/w/ Cream Clotrimazole relieves irritation of the vulva (vulvitis), which is caused by vaginal thrush (candidiasis). Although this cream provides relief from external irritation caused by vaginal thrush, it cannot treat any internal (vaginal) cause of the infection.

 

How Canesten Thrush External Cream 2% w/w Cream Clotrimazole works

The active ingredient in Canesten Thrush External Cream is clotrimazole. Clotrimazole belongs to a group of medicines called azoles and is an antifungal agent which fights the cause of infections such as vaginal thrush.

 

Directions

Always use Canesten Thrush External Cream 2% w/w Cream Clotrimazole exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. 

Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press. The cream should be thinly and evenly applied to the area around the entrance of the vagina, 2-3 times daily and smoothed in. 

A product to treat the internal vaginal infection should be used at the same time.
