Canesten Thrush Cream - Effective Internal Treatment

 

You can treat vaginal thrush effectively with this internal cream that contains clotrimazole, a clinically proven antifungal medicine. This treatment works directly at the site of infection to eliminate the Candida fungus that causes thrush symptoms including itching, discharge, and discomfort.

The 5g tube provides a complete single-dose treatment that you can apply internally using the applicator provided. This canesten thrush cream offers a convenient alternative to pessaries or tablets for women who prefer cream formulations.

 

How Clotrimazole Treats Fungal Infections

 

Clotrimazole belongs to a group of medicines called azole antifungals. It works by disrupting the cell membrane of the Candida fungus, preventing it from growing and reproducing. This action eliminates the infection and relieves your symptoms.

The cream formulation allows the active ingredient to remain in contact with the affected area for an extended period, ensuring thorough treatment of the infection. You should notice improvement in your symptoms within a few days of application.

 

Who Can Use This Vaginal Thrush Treatment

 

This internal cream is suitable for women aged 16 to 60 years who have been diagnosed with vaginal thrush. You can use it if you have experienced thrush symptoms before and recognise the signs, or following diagnosis by your doctor or pharmacist.

The treatment is appropriate if you experience:

• Vaginal itching and irritation
• Thick, white vaginal discharge
• Soreness around the vaginal area
• Pain or discomfort during urination

You should not use this product if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 16 years of age. If you have diabetes or a weakened immune system, consult your pharmacist before use. For comprehensive treatment options, explore our thrush collection which includes various formulations.

 

Why Choose Internal Cream Over Other Treatments

 

Internal cream offers several advantages over other thrush treatments. Unlike pessaries, the cream does not require insertion of a solid tablet, making it more comfortable for some women. The smooth consistency allows for easier application and better distribution throughout the vaginal area.

The single-dose treatment means you only need to apply it once, unlike some treatments that require multiple applications. This reduces the risk of incomplete treatment and ensures you receive the full therapeutic dose needed to clear the infection.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

You should store this cream below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Do not use the product after the expiry date printed on the packaging, as the effectiveness may be reduced.

Once opened, use the cream immediately and dispose of any remaining product and the applicator after treatment. Do not save partial tubes for future use, as this increases the risk of contamination and reduced effectiveness.
