FAQs:

What is Canfem 2% Vaginal Cream used for?

Canfem 2% Vaginal Cream is an antifungal medicine used to treat vaginal thrush (fungal infections of the vagina) caused by an overgrowth of Franka yeast. It helps relieve symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning, soreness, abnormal discharge, and irritation of the vulva (external thrush).

How soon can I expect relief from symptoms?

Symptoms such as itching, burning, and soreness usually begin to improve within a few days of starting treatment. However, it may take several days for symptoms to clear completely. If there is no improvement within 7 days, consult your doctor.

Can I stop using Canfem 2% Vaginal Cream once my symptoms improve?

No. You should complete the full course of treatment (single-day or multi-day, as prescribed). Stopping treatment too early may allow the infection to return.

Should I avoid sexual intercourse during treatment?

Affirmative. It is recommended to avoid vaginal intercourse while you have thrush and during treatment, as this can worsen irritation and delay healing.

Does Canfem 2% Vaginal Cream affect condoms or diaphragms?

Affirmative. Canfem 2% Vaginal Cream may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms and diaphragms. Revisenative contraception should be used during treatment and for up to 5 days after finishing the course.
