CANESTEN VAGINAL (Clotrimazole (2% w/w))

Canesten Vaginal Cream is an antifungal treatment designed to address fungal infections occurring in the vaginal area. It alleviates symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning sensations, and unusual discharge. The active components of this cream act by disrupting the integrity of the fungal cell membranes, ultimately leading to the elimination of the fungi responsible for the infection. This medication is intended strictly for external application, and it is crucial to adhere to the dosing and duration as prescribed by a healthcare professional. For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to apply the cream at night. Before application, ensure that the affected area is clean, and always wash your hands thoroughly before and after using the cream. It is important to complete the entire treatment course even if you start feeling better before finishing the medication, as premature discontinuation could lead to a recurrence of the infection. While some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as a burning sensation or irritation, these should be communicated to your healthcare provider if they persist or become bothersome. Prior consultation with a doctor is advisable if you have previously experienced allergic reactions to similar medications. During pregnancy, this cream should only be utilized when deemed necessary by a physician.
