CANESTEN THRUSH CREAM 2% - 20 G

Canesten Thrush Cream relieves irritation of the vulva (vulvitis), which is caused by thrush (candidiasis). Canesten Thrush Cream contains Clotrimazole: is an antifungal agent that fights the cause of infections such as thrush. Thrush is a common infection that mast women suffer from at some time in their lives and is not caused by lack of personal hygiene. Thrush is caused by a yeast (fungus) called candida which lives harmlessly in the vagina and other parts of the body. However the natural balance that keeps candida under control can be upset by many factors such as hormonal changes (menstruation, contraceptive pill, pregnancy, menopause), poor health, antibiotics, perfumed soaps, bath additives and tight clothing. If the level of yeast increases it can develop into a thrush infection causing any of the following symptoms: persistent burning, itching around the vagina and vulva, redness, swelling and soreness of the tissues of the vagina and vulva and a whitish, odourless discharge from the vagina. Although Canesten Thrush Cream provides relief from the external irritation caused by vaginal thrush, it cannot treat any internal (vaginal) cause of the infection. Some women suffer from recurrent attacks of thrush. To reduce the frequency of these attacks, the sexual partner's penis can be treated with this cream as well, even if they have no symptoms of thrush. Although Canesten Thrush Cream provides relief from the external irritation caused by vaginal thrush, it cannot treat any internal (vaginal) cause of the infection.
