Canesten Thrush External Cream
Canesten Thrush External Cream provides fast, effective relief from the external itching caused by vaginal thrush. If you suffer from recurrent attacks of thrush, you can also apply the cream to your partner's penis to prevent re-infection, even if they have no symptoms of thrush.
Canesten Thrush External Cream contains clotrimazole, an antifungal agent to relieve irritation, and should always be used in conjunction with a thrush treatment that treats the internal cause of the infection, such as a fluconazole capsule, a pessary or an internal cream.

Directions
Women:
- Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press.
- To treat the itching and soreness of the vulva (vulvitis), the cream should be thinly and evenly applied to the area around the entrance of the vagina, 2 or 3 times a day and smoothed in gently. A product to treat the internal (vaginal) infection should be used at the same time.
- Treatment should be continued until symptoms of the infections disappear. Consult your doctor if the symptoms of your infection do not improve within seven days of finishing treatment for the internal infection.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Clotrimazole 2% w/w.
- Other Ingredients: Benzyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan Stearate, Cetyl Palmitate, Cetostearyl Alcohol, Octyldodecanol and Purified Water.
