I think I have vaginitis, but I'm on my period right now. Can I use a Canesten capsule as well?

And do you have to buy the package with the capsule but do you have to buy an apartment cream

Good evening ma'am,

Yes, you can use Canesten™ vaginal ovule during your period. I would also recommend that you purchase the cream to apply to the vulva throughout the treatment to improve effectiveness and reduce the risk that taking vaginal ovules alone will not resolve the situation.

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
