Canesten is primarily used to treat vaginal yeast infections, commonly known as vaginal candidiasis or vaginal yeast infection. It contains an active ingredient that fights the fungi that cause these infections by stopping their growth and eliminating them. Canesten is also commonly prescribed to relieve symptoms associated with these infections, such as severe itching, redness, and unpleasant, potentially abnormal, discharge.
Canesten is also a reliable treatment option for women who suffer from recurring yeast infections in the intimate area.
