1. WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This pack contains a cream and a single capsule. The cream contains
Clotrimazole and the
capsule contains Fluconazole. Both of these medicines belong to a
group of medicines
called anti-fungals, which act to treat infections caused by fungi.
The medicine can be used to treat thrush (vaginal candidiasis) and the
external symptoms of
thrush (vulval candidiasis). It may also be used by the woman’s
sexual partner to treat
associated penile thrush (candidal balanitis). The capsule can be
taken by both men and
women, the cream can be used by both partners too. If a woman and her
partner both intend
to take the capsule you will need one pack each.
Thrush is a common infection caused by a yeast (or fungus), which may
live harmlessly in
the vagina without you even noticing it. However, in certain
circumstances, it may develop
into an infection in the vagina and symptoms may spread to the
surrounding area. The
symptoms may include one or more of the following:

Itching of the vagina and surrounding area (the vulva)

Redness and swelling of the tissues
