Is Canesten 1 day internal cream generally sufficient to treat a vaginal yeast infection?

24-year-old woman2 years ago

Two weeks ago I started to have itching at the entrance of my vagina without having had intercourse so I opted for one of the canesten presentations but it was not enough.

Good morning, ma'am,

Canesten 1 day is a single vaginal ovule, the cream can be used on the vulva 1 to 2 times a day.

Usually the one day treatment is effective but longer treatments are recommended as they may decrease the risk of recurrence.

I hope I have been helpful to you and I am available if you have any further questions!
