Thrush treatments, test & prevention
To treat thrush, you can use an internal treatment that contains the active ingredient clotrimazole or fluconazole. Choose from the oral pill, soft gel pessary, pessary or internal vaginal cream. External thrush creams will help to soothe your symptoms such as itching. You can buy our products separately or you can purchase a Combi pack containing both the internal and external treatments.
If you have never had thrush before and you think you might have it, or if there is no improvement in your symptoms within three days, or if they’ve not disappeared in seven days – please speak to your doctor. Medicines can affect the unborn baby. If you are pregnant or breast feeding or trying for a baby, tell your doctor or midwife before using Canesten® Thrush treatments. Fluconazole should not be taken during pregnancy. If you have informed your doctor or midwife already, follow his or her instructions carefully.
