Canesten-1 Vaginal Cream 10% is an intravaginal antifungal medicine containing clotrimazole 10% w/w. Each single-dose pack contains 5 g of cream, equivalent to 500 mg of clotrimazole, supplied in a pre-filled vaginal applicator. Clotrimazole belongs to the azole group of antifungal medicines and acts against Candida fungi responsible for vaginal thrush. The product is designed as a complete single-application course delivered directly to the site of infection. Vaginal candidiasis may cause persistent itching or burning around the vagina and vulva, redness, swelling, soreness, and a whitish discharge. By treating the underlying fungal infection, Canesten-1 helps relieve these associated symptoms. The entire pre-measured dose should be inserted as high as comfortably possible into the vagina, preferably at bedtime. A small amount of cream may leak afterwards, so a panty liner may be useful. Treatment should not be used during menstruation because it may be less effective. If symptoms have not improved within 7 days, medical advice should be sought.
