Product Description
Canesten Thrush Cream 2% w/w (clotrimazole) is an antifungal cream for external use, designed to relieve the irritation and discomfort associated with external symptoms of vaginal thrush. It works by preventing the growth of the yeast that causes thrush, helping to ease itching, burning, redness and soreness around the vulval area. The 20g tube is suitable for short treatment courses and is commonly used alongside an internal Canesten thrush treatment to address both cause and symptoms.Key Features
- Contains clotrimazole 2% w/w.
- Targets the fungi/yeasts that cause external thrush symptoms.
- Provides soothing relief from itching, soreness, redness and irritation.
- For external use on the vulva and surrounding area.
- Often used in combination with an internal Canesten treatment.

within 7 days, seek medical advice.
