Can I treat my vaginitis with Canesten internal cream (3 day treatment - the one I always take) even though I am menstruating?

31-year-old womana year ago

For the past 2 days, I've had symptoms similar to yeast vaginitis (it's not the first time this has happened to me so I know the symptoms). I'm 30 years old, I'm not pregnant, I don't have any allergies. I am currently menstruating. Oral fluconazole has not worked for me in the past.

Good morning, ma'am,

Yes, you can use this product even during menstruation, it should not affect its effectiveness.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
