Complete two-part treatment: internal pessary + external cream
Relieves itching, soreness, and discharge caused by thrush
Treats the infection at the source and soothes external irritation
Contains clotrimazole, a clinically proven antifungal ingredient
Convenient single-dose pessary for effective overnight relief
Suitable for women aged 16-60 years who have been previously diagnosed with thrush
Both the pessary and cream contain clotrimazole, an antifungal medicine from the azole family.
Clotrimazole works by destroying the fungal cell membrane, preventing the Candida albicans yeast from multiplying and causing infection.
The pessary works internally, dissolving overnight to clear the infection at its source.
The cream provides external relief, soothing itching and burning while reducing redness.
Together, they provide fast, effective treatment and help prevent the infection from returning.
Suitable for:
Women aged 16–60 years who have had thrush before
Those experiencing itching, soreness, or thick white discharge
Use for single-episode treatment of vaginal thrush
Do not use if:
You are allergic to clotrimazole or any other ingredients

You have recurrent thrush (2+ episodes in 6 months) – consult your GP
Pessary (Internal Tablet)
Wash your hands before and after use.
Remove the pessary from the foil blister pack.
Use the applicator to insert the pessary high into the vagina, preferably at bedtime.

The pessary works best when inserted before lying down, helping ensure full absorption.

Can I use Canesten Thrush Combi during my period?

The cream only relieves external symptoms. The pessary is needed to treat the infection at its source.
Can Canesten Thrush Combi be used during pregnancy?
Yes, but only under the advice of a GP. The pessary should be inserted without an applicator during pregnancy.
Can my partner use the cream?
Yes, if they have irritation or redness on the penis. This helps prevent reinfection.
How long does Canesten Thrush Combi take to work?
Most women experience relief within 1-3 days, with full recovery in up to 7 days.
Can I have sex while using Canesten Thrush Combi?
No. Avoid intercourse during treatment as the infection may transfer and the product can weaken latex condoms.
