CANESTEN 3 Day Vaginal Cream 2% 20g

Canesten 3 Day Cream is a three-day internal treatment for vaginal thrush. The cream is inserted high into the vagina using the applicators supplied, and the pack may suit women who experience vaginal dryness or recurrent infections.

Used for

The internal treatment of vaginal thrush. Even though vulval itch is very common, the cream should not be applied only to the external skin, because the infection is inside the vagina.
