Product description

A single dose capsule and tube of cream for double action treatment of thrush.

The Canesten thrush duo contains an oral capsule and tube of external cream that work together to fight thrush at the source of infection. Thrush is a common yeast infection that many people experience at some point in their lives, especially women. Symptoms include itching, irritation, burning sensation when you go the loo or unusual vaginal discharge. The active ingredient in Canesten oral capsule is fluconazole, an anti fungal that works to restore the balance of good and bad bacteria in your body and fight against the fungi or yeast that may be causing your thrush.

The Canesten oral capsule and cream is an effective single dose treatment for vaginal thrush that can also be used by your partner if he is experiencing symptoms of thrush. The capsule is to treat thrush at the site of infection, and the cream is to treat any irritation or itchiness around the vulva.
