Canesten Thrush Combi – Soft Gel Pessary & External Cream provides complete treatment for vaginal thrush. The soft gel pessary treats the infection internally, while the soothing cream relieves external itching and irritation for fast, effective relief.
Canesten Thrush Combi Soft Gel Pessary & External Cream is a complete dual-action treatment for vaginal thrush (candida infection).
It is designed to treat both the internal cause of the infection and the external symptoms, offering full relief and faster recovery.
The active ingredient, clotrimazole, belongs to a group of antifungal medicines called azoles, which fight fungal infections by breaking down the yeast cell membrane, stopping its growth and clearing the infection.
Use only if you have previously been diagnosed with vaginal thrush by a healthcare professional.
Common thrush symptoms include:
Itching and irritation around the vagina
Soreness or stinging during sex or urination
Thick white discharge (often odourless, resembling cottage cheese)
Learn more about vaginal thrush on the NHS website.
Treats both internal and external thrush symptoms
Single-dose pessary targets the infection at its source
Soothing external cream relieves itching and redness
Contains clotrimazole, a clinically proven antifungal
Convenient, comfortable and fast-acting treatment
Trusted by women and recommended by healthcare professionals
The pessary works internally to clear the infection by releasing clotrimazole directly at the site of infection.
The cream provides external relief from itching, burning, and soreness.
Together, they provide comprehensive relief and help restore the natural vaginal balance.
Soft Gel Pessary
Wash your hands before and after use.
Remove the pessary from the foil pack.
Use the applicator to insert the pessary high into the vagina, preferably before bed.
Allow it to dissolve overnight.
External Cream
Apply a thin, even layer around the entrance of the vagina.
Use 2-3 times daily until symptoms disappear.
Continue for a few days after symptoms subside to ensure complete relief.
Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, as the infection can spread and the cream may damage latex condoms or diaphragms.
Suitable for:
Women aged 16-60 who have had thrush diagnosed before
Those experiencing itching, soreness, or abnormal discharge
Do not use if:
You are allergic to clotrimazole or any other ingredient
You are under 16 or over 60 without GP advice
You have irregular bleeding, pain, ulcers, or sores
You are pregnant or breastfeeding (unless advised by your GP)
Like all medicines, Canesten Thrush Combi can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.

Difficulty breathing or swallowing
Dizziness, faintness, or nausea

How long does Canesten Thrush Combi take to work?
Most users feel relief within 1-3 days, and full infection clearance usually occurs within 7 days.
Can I use the cream on its own?
The cream relieves external irritation, but the pessary treats the infection internally. Use both together for full relief.
Can I use Canesten Thrush Combi during pregnancy?
Only if advised by your doctor. During pregnancy, insert the pessary without the applicator.
Can my partner use the cream?
Yes. If your partner has irritation or redness on the penis, they may use the cream to prevent re-infection.
What should I do if symptoms persist after treatment?
Consult your GP. Persistent symptoms may indicate another condition, such as bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis.
