Canesten Cream: Effective Relief for Fungal Infections

What is Canesten Cream Used For?
Canesten 1% External Cream is an antifungal treatment for various fungal infections, including ringworm, athlete’s foot, and fungal nappy rash. It also provides quick relief from external thrush symptoms affecting sensitive areas, such as the vulva or penis.

How Does Canesten Cream Work?
Canesten Cream contains clotrimazole, a potent antifungal agent that targets and kills the yeast causing the infection. It effectively soothes itching and soreness, offering targeted relief when applied directly to affected areas.

Using Canesten External Cream:

1. Application: Pierce the tube’s seal with the cap. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-3 times daily.
2. Dosage: A ½ cm strip is sufficient for an area the size of a hand.
3. Duration: Treatment generally lasts 2-4 weeks, depending on the infection type. Symptoms typically improve within a few days.

Important Considerations:

• Consult a Doctor: If symptoms persist after 4 weeks, seek medical advice.
• External Use Only: Do not use Canesten Cream internally. If ingested or applied internally, contact a doctor immediately.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Contraceptive Interaction: Canesten Cream may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives. Consider using alternative precautions for at least five days after application.
