Hello, I am 24 weeks pregnant. I have sx of vaginitis (redness, swelling, pruritus, thick white vaginal discharge). Hello, yes I have had the same symptoms before and have always used this treatment. It was all settled after a 3 day treatment. Perfect, thank you very much! :)

Can I use Canesten during pregnancy?

Hello ma'am, have you had these same symptoms in the past? Had you taken any other treatments before?

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, this treatment is safe during pregnancy. However, longer treatments (Canesten 6) are recommended as they may reduce The risk of relapse or recurrence.

Cordially,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
