Canesten Thrush Cream is an external antifungal treatment containing Clotrimazole. While internal treatments address the source of a yeast infection, this specialized cream is designed to provide immediate, soothing relief from the external symptoms. It belongs to the imidazole family of antifungals, which works by destroying the structure of the fungus cell membranes, stopping the infection from spreading.
This 20g tube is specifically formulated to manage the external irritation associated with fungal infections:
Vaginal Thrush (Candidiasis): Relieving the intense external itching, soreness, and burning of the vulva (lips of the vagina).
Thrush in Men (Candidal Balanitis): Treating redness, irritation, and inflammation of the end of the penis (glans) and foreskin.
Symptomatic Relief: Providing a cooling effect on inflamed skin while the active ingredient works to clear the yeast.
Clotrimazole (20mg/g or 2%): A high-strength concentration that penetrates the skin layers to target the Candida fungus effectively.
Frequency: Apply the cream thinly and evenly to the affected areas 2 to 3 times daily.
Duration: Continue the treatment for at least 6 to 14 days, even if the itching disappears sooner. This ensures the infection is completely cleared and prevents it from returning.
Men: If the partner of a woman with thrush shows symptoms, he should apply the cream to the penis 2–3 times a day for up to two weeks.
Preparation: Wash your hands and the affected area with warm water and pat dry thoroughly before application.
Application: Squeeze a small amount of cream and gently rub it into the irritated skin (the vulva and surrounding area for women; the glans and foreskin for men).
Hygiene: Wash your hands again after use to prevent spreading the infection to other parts of the body.
Clothing: Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to allow the skin to breathe and prevent the moisture that fungi love.
Latex Warning: CRITICAL: Clotrimazole may reduce the effectiveness and safety of latex products, such as condoms and diaphragms. Use alternative precautions for at least 5 days after finishing the treatment.
Internal Use: This cream is for external skin use only. If you have internal itching or a thick "cottage cheese" discharge, you should use this alongside a Canesten internal pessary or oral capsule.
Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult our pharmacist before use. During pregnancy, internal treatments should be inserted by hand rather than using an applicator.
First Time? If this is the first time you have experienced these symptoms, consult a doctor to confirm the diagnosis before starting treatment.
Indicated For: Adults and adolescents aged 16 to 60. It is suitable for both men and women experiencing the localized skin irritation of a thrush flare-up.
Q: Can I use this during my period?
A: Yes, the external cream can still be used. However, it is best to avoid using internal treatments or scented tampons/pads during your period as they may irritate the area further.
Q: How soon will I feel better?
A: The cooling effect often provides relief from itching within a few hours, but the fungal infection itself takes several days to clear.
Q: Can I use this for an itchy rash under my arms?
A: While this contains Clotrimazole, which treats many fungal rashes, this specific pack is labeled for thrush. For "sweat rash" or athlete's foot, we recommend Canesten 1% Cream or Canesten AF.
