Canesten 1 Day Cream Pharmacist Only Medicine

Canesten® helps you feel comfortable again so you can get on with your life.

Canesten® is New Zealand's #1 thrush treatment brand*. Canesten® 1 Day Cream is a convenient, single-dose soothing treatment. It contains a tube of cream that is inserted high into the vagina with an easy to use applicator. This product may be preferred by women who experience vaginal dryness.

It is important to note that this product is for internal vaginal use only. If you wish to treat an external itch, we recommend you use CanesOral Duo or Canesten 1 Day Pessary + External Cream.

Canesten 1 Day cream contains Clotrimazole 100 mg/g.

Across the range of Canesten® thrush products, all treatments work equally well to treat an infection.
We offer effective solutions to suit different lifestyles and preferences. Choose the option that suits you best:

6 main symptoms:

• Itching

• Swelling

• Redness

• Unusual discharge

• Burning

• Soreness

Thrush doesn’t usually change the pH level and has no odour, but you might feel pain during sex or urinating.

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.

Single Pack (only internal treatment) when no external itching or burning annoys you.

Wash your hands thoroughly before and after using Canesten®

Preparing the applicator
Step 1: Pull out the plunger of the applicator until it stops.
Step 2: Open the Canesten cream tube. Attach the applicator to the tube and hold it firmly pressed against the tube.
Step 3: Squeeze the cream tube until the applicator is full, then remove the cream tube.

Inserting the applicator
Step 4: Carefully insert the end of the applicator containing the cream as gently and deeply into the vagina as possible. This is best achieved when lying on your back with your knees bent.
Step 5: Hold the applicator in position and slowly push the plunger with the forefinger until it stops. This places the cream in the vagina.
Step 6: Remove the applicator from the vagina and dispose of the applicator.
