Overview

Canesten Combi is a complete thrush treatment that clears the infection from the inside while soothing irritation on the outside.
It combines a clotrimazole vaginal pessary with a 2% clotrimazole cream, giving fast and effective relief from all symptoms of vaginal thrush.


What is Canesten Combi


Thrush often causes both internal infection (discharge, soreness, swelling) and external discomfort (itching, burning, redness). Treating only one side can leave symptoms lingering, which is why Canesten Combi provides two treatments in one pack.

The vaginal pessary delivers antifungal medicine directly inside the vagina, targeting the Candida yeast responsible for thrush.


The external cream relieves itching, burning, and soreness around the vulva.


Together, they offer comprehensive relief - tackling both the infection and the discomfort it causes. Most women notice improvement in just a few days.

Directions

  • Insert the pessary into the vagina at bedtime using the applicator provided.
  • Apply the clotrimazole 2% cream thinly to the external area 2–3 times daily until symptoms settle.
  • Use both treatments together for best results.

Side Effects

Most women tolerate Canesten Combi well, but side effects may occur.

  • Mild burning, stinging, or irritation after application
  • Redness or itching


Less common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine for full details. If you notice anything unusual or concerning, stop using the treatment and seek medical advice promptly. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

Warnings

  • Not suitable if allergic to clotrimazole or other antifungals.
  • Avoid use during pregnancy unless advised by a doctor (pessary may be inserted without the applicator in pregnancy).
  • Cream may weaken latex condoms and diaphragms — use additional contraception during treatment.
  • If symptoms persist or recur, seek medical advice.
