Canesten is primarily used to treat vaginal yeast infections, which often cause uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, redness, irritation, and abnormal discharge. This medication is effective in combating infections caused by Candida fungi, the most common cause of these infections.
Canesten is usually used as a topical treatment, either as a cream or vaginal suppository, to directly eliminate the fungi causing the infection and quickly relieve symptoms. It is often recommended to use it under the supervision of a doctor to determine the appropriate dosage and precise method of use, especially if the condition is recurrent or accompanied by severe symptoms.
