Canesten Thrush Duo combines an oral capsule and external cream for complete relief from thrush. The capsule treats the infection from within, while the cream soothes itching and irritation externally for all-around comfort.
Canesten Thrush Duo is a complete, convenient antifungal treatment for vaginal and penile thrush. It contains two active ingredients – fluconazole (oral capsule) and clotrimazole (external cream) – that work together to relieve symptoms and clear infection.
This combination targets the infection both internally and externally, offering effective relief from itching, soreness, and discharge.
Canesten Thrush Duo should only be used if you’ve been previously diagnosed with thrush by a healthcare professional.
Thrush is a common yeast infection that affects both men and women. It is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI) but can sometimes be passed between partners.
Dual-action treatment: capsule for internal infection, cream for external irritation
Single-dose capsule for convenience
Relieves itching, redness, and soreness
Treats infection at the source for long-term relief
Suitable for both men and women
Clinically proven antifungal formula
Canesten Thrush Duo combines two powerful antifungal agents:
Fluconazole (150mg) – the capsule treats thrush from the inside by stopping fungal growth and killing Candida albicans, the yeast that causes infection.
Clotrimazole (2% cream) – applied externally to soothe itching, burning, and irritation, restoring comfort while the capsule clears the infection.
Together, they provide comprehensive, dual-site treatment for faster relief and recovery.
