This is for the treatment of thrush(a yeast infection). It is a very common problem that affects mainly women and appears in the vagina as whitish spots accompanied by very severe itching.

Thrush can also appear in the mouths of small babies and be passed onto the nipple during breast feeding. Canesten should not be used to treat this though, you should see a doctor who will prescribe antibiotics.

Vaginal thrush can be caused by infection and wearing very tight underwear. It is also extremely common in pregnant women and can be transmitted during intercourse.

I got very severe thrush each time I was pregnant and it can be very painful. I found canesten very soothing especially if it is stored in the fridge for an hour first.

If symptoms persist after using canesten cream, you can get a canesten pessary on prescription, which includes 3 tablets that are inserted vaginally before you go to bed for 3 nights. The pessary is extremely effective.
