Thrush is an infection caused by a yeast called Candida. Candida is found on the body naturally yet is kept at low levels by the immune system and other bacteria. However, on occasion levels of Candida are allowed to rise and cause infection. Symptoms can include vaginal discharge, itching, redness and discomfort around the outside of the vagina. Thrush will affect most of us at some points in our lives and is easily treatable. Remedies come in capsule and cream forms.

Canesten, with the active ingredient clotrimazole, has proved its worth as a fast and efficient remedy for vaginal thrush.
