Canesten

Canesten is an over-the-counter medication primarily used to treat fungal infections, particularly those caused by a type of fungus called yeast, like Candida. It is commonly used to address conditions such as thrush, athletes' foot, and vaginal yeast infections. Canesten usually comes in various forms, including creams, ointments, and tablets, allowing for targeted treatment depending on the infection's location. Its active ingredient, clotrimazole, works by disrupting the growth of the fungus, helping to alleviate symptoms like itching, burning, and irritation. It's important to follow instructions and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
