Can I use Canesten with an applicator if I am pregnant?

27-year-old woman2 years ago

I am pregnant and have a yeast infection. A nurse told me to buy a cream and told me to be careful with the applicators. My pharmacist insisted that I take a cream that comes with an applicator.

Good morning, ma'am,

Yes, you can use the applicator, taking care not to insert it too far or too forcefully. As soon as you feel the slightest resistance, you stop

I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
