Canesten Combi 1 Day ComforTAB + External cream
Canesten Combi 1 Day ComforTAB + External cream
Components:
-
Canesten ComforTAB (or applicator with cream): This delivers a high dose of clotrimazole (typically 500mg) directly into the vagina using a disposable applicator (or pre-filled applicator depending on the version) to fight the internal fungal infection.
-
Canesten External Cream (1% Clotrimazole): This cream soothes the itching and burning caused by the yeast infection on the vulva (external vaginal area).
Benefits:
- Fast and Convenient: Offers a one-day treatment option compared to Canesten creams requiring multiple applications over several days.
- Comprehensive Relief: Addresses both the internal infection and external discomfort for complete relief.
- Over-the-Counter (OTC): Typically available over-the-counter in many countries, allowing easier access without a prescription.
