Canesten Thrush Combi Internal & External Treatment

This dual-action treatment provides comprehensive care for vaginal thrush symptoms. The combination pack contains both internal and external creams to address the infection at its source whilst providing relief from external irritation and discomfort.

Each pack contains clotrimazole-based formulations designed to treat the fungal infection that causes thrush. The internal cream targets the infection within the vagina, whilst the external cream soothes the surrounding intimate area affected by symptoms such as itching and soreness.

How This Antifungal Treatment Works

The active ingredient clotrimazole belongs to a group of medicines called azole antifungals. It works by disrupting the cell membrane of the Candida fungus that causes thrush, preventing it from growing and multiplying.

When applied as directed, the internal cream treats the infection at its source within the vagina. The external cream provides additional relief from symptoms affecting the vulval area, helping to reduce inflammation and discomfort whilst the infection clears.

Who Can Use This Thrush Treatment

This treatment is suitable for women aged 16-60 years who are experiencing their first episode of thrush or have had thrush diagnosed by a doctor previously. You should recognise the symptoms from previous episodes before using this medication.

The canesten thrush combi is appropriate if you experience typical thrush symptoms including:

Thick, white vaginal discharge that doesn't smell
Itching and irritation around the vagina and vulva
Soreness and stinging during urination or intercourse
Redness or swelling of the intimate area

This treatment is also available alongside other thrush medications to help you find the most suitable option for your needs.

Why Choose a Combination Treatment

The dual approach addresses both internal and external symptoms simultaneously, which may provide more comprehensive relief than single treatments alone. Many women find that thrush affects both the internal vaginal area and the external intimate skin.

Using both creams together as directed helps ensure that all affected areas receive appropriate treatment. This approach may help reduce the likelihood of symptoms persisting in untreated areas whilst the main infection clears.

Storage and Handling Requirements

Store this medication below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the tubes tightly closed when not in use and ensure the medication remains out of reach of children.

Check the expiry date before use and do not use if the packaging appears damaged or tampered with. The applicators provided should be used only once and disposed of hygienically after use.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

How to Apply the Internal Cream

Wash your hands thoroughly before use. Fill the applicator with the internal cream and insert it gently into the vagina, preferably at bedtime. Push the plunger to release the cream, then remove and dispose of the applicator. The internal cream should be used as a single dose.

External Cream Application Instructions

Apply a thin layer of the external cream to the affected area around the vulva and entrance to the vagina. Gently smooth the cream into the skin using clean hands. Use the external cream twice daily, morning and evening, and continue for several days after symptoms have cleared to prevent recurrence. Wash your hands after application.

Possible Side Effects of This Treatment

Like all medicines, Canesten Thrush Combi Internal & External Creams can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most side effects are mild and occur at the site of application. If you're concerned about any symptoms, you can find additional support through our women's health collection or speak to a healthcare professional.

Unusual vaginal discharge initially
