Description

Canesten 1% Cream

Canesten 1% Cream contains clotrimazole and is a topical antifungal cream used for thrush and other fungal skin infections. It is applied directly to the affected skin, which puts the treatment where the infection is and gives localised relief from itching, burning and discomfort.

How it works

Clotrimazole belongs to the imidazole group of antifungals. It damages the membrane that surrounds the fungal cell so the cell cannot survive, which clears the organism causing the infection. As it does so, the itching, burning, redness and soreness that come with a fungal infection settle, though the skin usually takes a little longer to look normal than it does to feel comfortable.

How to use it

Wash and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer two or three times a day as directed on the pack and rub in gently. Keep using it for the full period stated, including a few days after symptoms have gone, because stopping as soon as the itch settles is the most common reason a fungal infection returns.

Who it is for

It is for adults and children with thrush symptoms or fungal skin infections. For genital thrush it can be used alongside an internal treatment. It is not suitable for anyone sensitive to clotrimazole or to other ingredients in the cream.

Safety and when to get advice

See a clinician if this is your first episode of thrush, if you are under 16 or over 60, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have had more than two episodes in six months, if you have abnormal or bloodstained discharge, sores, blisters, lower abdominal pain or a fever, or if symptoms do not improve within seven days. Clotrimazole cream can damage latex condoms and diaphragms. Our UK pharmacy team can answer questions about this product before you buy.

Common questions

How long until it works?
Itching often eases within a few days, but the full course on the pack should still be completed.

Can it be used with an internal thrush treatment?
Yes, external cream is commonly used alongside an internal capsule or pessary for external soreness.

Does it affect condoms?
Yes. Clotrimazole can weaken latex, so use another form of contraception during treatment.

Always read the patient information leaflet supplied with the pack before use.

Directions

Before applying Canesten 1% Clotrimazole Cream, clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin and surrounding area, gently rubbing it in until fully absorbed. Use the cream two to three times daily as directed, typically for 2 to 4 weeks, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent recurrence. Wash your hands after application to avoid spreading the infection. If symptoms persist or worsen after four weeks, consult a doctor for further advice.

Ingredients

The main active ingredient in Canesten 1% Cream is clotrimazole, which belongs to a group of medicines known as azoles. In addition to clotrimazole, the cream contains Benzyl alcohol, Polysorbate, Sorbitan stearate, Cetostearyl alcohol, Octyldodecanol, and Purified water.

Side Effects

Canesten 1% Clotrimazole Cream is generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience mild skin irritation, including redness, itching, burning, or dryness at the application site. In rare cases, rash, blistering, or peeling may occur. Severe allergic reactions, such as swelling, intense itching, or difficulty breathing, are uncommon but require immediate medical attention. If any unusual or persistent side effects occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Warnings

This cream is for external use only and should not be ingested or applied to the eyes, mouth, or open wounds. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other medications, consult a doctor before use. Avoid prolonged use without medical supervision, and if symptoms worsen or do not improve after four weeks, seek medical advice. Keep the cream out of reach of children, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
