Canesten Combi is Ireland’s most trusted brand for treating thrush, offering a complete two-step solution that tackles both the internal cause and external symptoms simultaneously. The 500mg pessary clears the infection, while the double-strength 2% clotrimazole cream soothes itching, burning, and soreness around the vulva.
Symptoms typically begin to ease after the first use. You must be aged 18 or over to purchase this product.
Common Symptoms of Vaginal Thrush

How to Use
The Cream
