What is Canesten internal cream?
Canesten thrush cream is a treatment for thrush that helps to combat the infection from the inside. It can make your symptoms disappear within just three days and provides relief for itching and irritation caused by thrush.
What is thrush?
Thrush is a common yeast infection and almost all women will suffer from vaginal thrush at some point in their lives. It happens when the balance of your intimate area is disturbed, letting the natural yeast, or fungus, Candida thrive. This causes thrush and leaves you with discomfort and itching in and around your vagina.
How does Canesten internal cream treat thrush?
Canesten thrush cream contains the active ingredient clotrimazole, which is an anti-fungal agent. It targets the yeast that creates thrush from the inside and works to soothe the area. This relieves itching and irritation.
How to use Canesten internal cream.
If you have purchased Canesten thrush cream to treat thrush without a prescription, follow these instructions. Remove the applicator from its packaging and attach the plunger to the applicator, then remove the cap.
