Be confident you're choosing the right thrush treatment!
Canesten® is the Ireland’s #1 thrush treatment brand*. The double-strength Canesten® Thrush Cream (compared to Canesten® 1% cream) provides an effective soothing relief for the external symptoms of thrush, such as itching, burning, redness and soreness.
Used alongside Canesten® internal vaginal thrush products, together they can treat both the symptoms and the cause of thrush. Canesten® helps you feel comfortable again so you can get on with your life.
6 main symptoms:
Itching
Swelling
Redness
Unusual discharge
Burning
Soreness
Thrush doesn’t usually change the pH level and has no odour.
No Stress!
It may feel uncomfortable, but there’s no need to be scared. Thrush is not an STI or a serious condition and in most cases, it can be treated easily and effectively. It is also normal and very common – 3 in 4 women suffer from it at least once during their lifetime and it’s not caused by a lack of hygiene.
How to avoid future recurrences:
✓ Wear cotton knickers and loose clothing.
✓ Wash daily.
✓ After going to the toilet, wipe yourself from the front to back as a thrush infection may be transferred from the bowel.
✓ Change your sanitary protection regularly.
✗ Try to avoid wearing tights, nylon knickers and close fitting jeans.
✗ Try to avoid washing with perfumed soaps or using vaginal deodorants.
✗ Do not wash or rub yourself hard with sponges or flannels and avoid hot baths with strong perfumed oils.
If you are still worried or have any questions about the symptoms or the treatment of thrush, do not hesitate to ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
