Product details
Azoles (e.g. clotrimazole) are usually recommended for the local treatment of vulvovaginal candidosis that is characterized by vulvovaginal symptoms such as itching, burning, discharge, redness, swelling and soreness. Clotrimazole acts against fungi by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Inhibition of ergosterol synthesis leads to structural and functional impairment of the fungal cytoplasmic membrane. Clotrimazole has a broad antimycotic spectrum of action in vitro and in vivo, which includes dermatophytes, yeasts and moulds. Indications Infections of the genital region (vaginitis) and infectious vaginal discharge caused by fungi (usually Candida), trichomonads and superinfections caused by clotrimazole-sensitive bacteria. Pregnancy There is limited amount of data from the use of Canesten Vaginal Cream in pregnant women. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity. As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of Canesten Vaginal Cream during the first trimester of pregnancy. During pregnancy the treatment should be carried out with Canesten vaginal tablets, without using an applicator. Suggested Usage The contents of single dose Canesten Vaginal Cream (about 5 g) using the applicator should be inserted using as deeply as possible into the vagina in the evening. For more details, see the inside leaflet Warnings As Canesten may reduce the effectiveness of condoms and diaphragms, patients should be advised to refrain from sexual intercourse to prevent transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) during treatment until the symptoms of candidiasis infection have resolved.
