FAQs
Which Canesten product should I choose for thrush?
Canesten offers internal options (pessaries or an applicator cream) and external creams for symptom relief, plus an oral capsule option. The best choice depends on your symptoms, preferences and suitability—always read the label and leaflet, and ask a pharmacist if you’re unsure.
What’s the difference between internal thrush treatments and external thrush creams?
Internal treatments are designed for use inside the vagina to treat thrush at the site of infection, while external creams are intended for use on the vulval area to relieve external itching and irritation. Some products combine both. Follow the directions for correct use and duration.
Can men use Canesten products?
Some Canesten antifungal treatments may be suitable for fungal skin infections and thrush affecting men, depending on the product. Check the label and suitability information, and speak to a pharmacist if symptoms are new, severe or persistent.
How do I choose between an antifungal cream, spray or solution?
Creams are often used for targeted application, while sprays may be preferred for larger or hard-to-reach areas. Solutions can be used in specific situations depending on the product instructions. Choose the format that suits the area being treated and follow the leaflet.
Are Canesfresh washes and wipes treatments for thrush or infections?
No—these are intimate hygiene products for external use only. They’re designed to support freshness and comfort, but they don’t treat thrush, BV or cystitis. If you suspect an infection, choose an appropriate treatment product or ask a pharmacist for advice.
When should I speak to a pharmacist, GP or NHS 111?
Seek advice if symptoms are new, recurrent, worsening or not improving within the timeframe stated on the label; if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding; if you’re under 16 or over 60; or if you have concerning symptoms such as fever, significant pain, unusual bleeding or unusual discharge.
Can I use Canesten products alongside other medicines?
Sometimes interactions or suitability issues can apply, depending on the product. If you take regular medicines, have underlying health conditions, or are unsure what’s causing symptoms, check the leaflet and ask a pharmacist before use.
Important: This page is for general guidance only and does not replace medical advice. Always read the Patient Information Leaflet and use Canesten products exactly as directed. If symptoms persist, recur, or you’re unsure whether you have thrush, BV, cystitis or another condition, speak to a pharmacist, contact your GP, or call NHS 111.
