Thrush — women 16 to 60, not a first episode
Supplied without prescription for vaginal thrush in women aged 16 to 60 who have had it diagnosed before. See a GP instead for a first episode, more than two episodes in six months, pregnancy or possible pregnancy, diabetes, or if you're under 16 or over 60. Don't use during a period.
See a GP if these apply
Irregular or abnormal bleeding, blood-stained or foul-smelling discharge, ulcers, blisters or sores, lower abdominal pain, pain on passing urine, fever or chills, or no improvement after seven days all need a doctor rather than more treatment. Clotrimazole weakens latex condoms and diaphragms for five days.

Product overview

About Canesten Thrush Internal Cream

The single-dose alternative to a pessary: 5g of clotrimazole 10% cream in a pre-filled applicator, inserted once at bedtime to treat the cause of vaginal thrush overnight. For women who find pessaries uncomfortable, or who'd rather a cream that spreads and coats than a tablet that has to dissolve. One applicator, pharmacy-only.

Cream or pessary

Both deliver a single high dose of clotrimazole to where the yeast is and both clear uncomplicated thrush in most women within a few days. The internal cream is softer on sore, dry tissue and easier to insert; the pessary is less messy. Either pairs with Canesten Thrush External Cream for the itching outside.

How to use

At bedtime, lying on your back with knees bent, insert the applicator as deep as is comfortable and press the plunger to release the cream. Some leakage the next day is normal; a panty liner helps. If symptoms haven't cleared, a second dose can be used, but if there's no improvement after seven days, see a GP. Not during a period.

Good to know

For women aged 16 to 60 who have had thrush diagnosed before. A first episode, more than two episodes in six months, pregnancy, diabetes, or any bleeding, ulcers, pain, fever or smelly discharge need a GP. It weakens latex condoms and diaphragms for five days. Pharmacist-reviewed before dispatch.
