The active substance in Canesten Oral Capsule is fluconazole. Fluconazole belongs to a group of medicines called azoles and is an antifungal agent which fights the cause of infections such as thrush.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt can also be used to treat your partner if he is suffering from thrush on the penis.

This yeast normally lives in your body quite happily without doing you any harm. But when the natural pH balance of your vagina is upset - which can easily happen - Candida can multiply. And that's when you may start to itch and develop thrush.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho gets Thrush?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't worry or be embarrassed about having thrush, as thrush is much more common than you might think - 3 out of 4 women have it at some point in their lives, especially if they are under the age of 20 or pregnant, and it is commonly suffered around the time of a period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMen are not immune. They can get thrush too, though only a few develop the rash and itchiness. Most male sufferers act as carriers, without actually having the symptoms. To help prevent re-infection, make sure your partner uses Canesten Thrush Cream as well as you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the infection occur?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNormally, there is a delicate balance between bacteria and yeasts that live naturally within the vagina.

However, it is important that the infection is treated internally as well as externally, to prevent symptoms from returning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf Canesten Oral Capsule has been prescribed for you by your doctor, follow any instructions he\/she may have given you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe full course of treatment consists of a single Canesten Oral Capsule.
