CanesOral Duo Oral Capsule + External Cream

Canesten® helps you feel comfortable again so you can get on with your life.

Canesten® is Australia's #1 thrush treatment brand*. CanesOral® Duo Oral Capsule & External Cream is a convenient 2-in-1 answer to thrush relief. It contains one capsule to be taken orally, and one tube of cream to relieve the external symptoms such as itching and inflammation.

The capsule contains 150 mg of Fluconazole and the tube of Canesten Clotrimazole external cream contains clotrimazole 10 mg/g.

Important: CanesOral Duo should not be used during pregnancy as it contains fluconazole. Vaginal tablets (pessaries) may be the most suitable option during pregnancy, but you should consult your doctor before using any treatment.

Man can get thrush, too

It’s less common than in women, but men can also suffer from thrush symptoms

  • Although it’s not an STI, it can be passed back and forth during sex. Foreskin constriction, a weakened immune system, antibiotics or diabetes may make men more susceptible.
