Canesten combi is ideal for women who have previously been diagnosed as suffering from vaginal thrush. Vaginal thrush is a common infection that most women have at some time in their lives, and is not caused by lack of personal hygiene.

Thrush is caused by a natural yeast fungus that becomes unbalanced due to different factors, such as hormonal changes, poor health, antibiotics, tight clothing or perfumed soaps. These factors can cause the yeast level to increase and develop into a thrush infection, which can cause burning, itching, redness, swelling and soreness.

Wash your hands before and after using the pessary and cream.

Insert the pessary into the vagina preferable at night using the applicator provided and apply the cream thinly to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day.
