How do I treat Thrush?
Luckily, treating thrush is much easier than talking about it. We've got a range of anti-fungal treatment options available from your pharmacist that you can tailor to suit your body's individual needs.
Here's how:
Oral Treatments
Canesoral Oral is an effective single dose (one capsule) treatment for vaginal thrush. The convenient capsule is a great option for busy people and the preferred option when you have your period. Contains fluconazole which is not suitable during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding. Taking Canesoral is easy; simply swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water (with or without food).
Canesoral Duo provides an effective single dose (one capsule) plus an external cream to relieve symptoms. Contains fluconazole which is not suitable during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding.
Canesten Vaginal Creams
Canesten creams are inserted high into the vagina using an easy to use applicator. Even though vulvar itch is very common, you must not apply Canesten cream solely to your external skin as the infection is inside the vagina. The cream option is often preferred by women who experience vaginal dryness.
Depending on the product you choose, there are single application creams or creams which can be inserted over several days. If you suffer from repeated infections, a longer treatment is advised.
Canesten Pessaries
Canesten Pessaries are compressed, solid tablets that are inserted high into the vagina by using an applicator to get right to source of the infection. Depending on the product you choose, there are single application pessaries or a six day course. If you suffer from repeated infections, a longer treatment is advised. If you are pregnant always consult your healthcare professional first, a six day pessary treatment is recommended.
Canesten Combination Therapy
A combination treatment offers the action of a single pessary for internal treatment combined with external cream to help ease the discomfort. The cream gives immediate relief from symptoms of itching and burning.
The Canesten range is available over the counter at all pharmacies.
