Q:  How long does Canesten 1% cream take to work?

It usually treats thrush within 7 days but it's best to treat the infection for at least 2 weeks to stop it coming back. The most common side effect is an itching or burning feeling in the area being treated. Clotrimazole cream can damage the latex used in condoms and diaphragms.

Q:  Why use canesten cream at night?

You can use Canesten treatments either day or night. However, vaginal treatments are best applied before you go to bed, as you can expect some leakage with the product use. For best results, lie down as soon as possible after inserting the vaginal products. This will reduce leakage.

Q:  Can I use canesten cream if I am pregant?

You should speak to your healthcare professional if you are pregnant and think you have thrush, before using any product to treat the infection.
