Antifungal relief

Canesten Thrush Duo works by combining two active ingredients: clotrimazole, an antifungal that works by inhibiting the growth of the yeast causing the infection, and hydrocortisone, which helps to reduce itching and inflammation. The clotrimazole cream treats the underlying infection, while the hydrocortisone reduces the discomfort associated with thrush. The internal capsule targets the infection from within, while the external cream helps to relieve symptoms like itching and burning. Together, they offer fast and effective relief for vaginal thrush.
