But, by its very nature, it is an external treatment for the symptoms of thrush. It's also important to get rid of the cause of thrush inside the vagina. That's why doctors tend to prescribe pessaries. And that's why we have bought a cream and a pessary together in a complete treatment, Canesten Combi. The cream quickly relieves the itching, while the pessary delivers the proven treatment, clotrimazole, right into the vagina without any mess.
Doctors prescribe clotrimazole more than any other treatment for thrush.
The pessary in Canesten Combi treats just about all sufferers with a single overnight application. A pessary and cream together are an ideal combination that treats thrush inside out - it's all you need. Oral tablets can also treat the cause of thrush. The treatment also takes a couple of days to work. Remember a doctor needs to be consulted, if you are taking any medicines, other than the contraceptive pill.
