Canesten Thrush Duo Oral Capsule & External Cream

Buy Canesten Thrush Duo Oral Capsule & External Cream 
Canesten Thrush Duo Oral Capsule & External Cream is an effective 2-step treatment designed to treat the cause and symptoms of thrush. 
The duo is easy to use at home or on the go. It includes an oral capsule and a double-strength external cream.
 
How Canesten Thrush Duo Oral Capsule & External Cream works
The capsule contains the active ingredient fluconazole. Fluconazole works by slowing the growth of fungi that cause infection. When applied to the infected area, it destroys the fungus which has caused the infection.
The external cream contains the active ingredient clotrimazole. Clotrimazole works by killing the fungus (yeast) that is causing the infection. It kills the fungus by creating holes in its cell membrane. The contents then leak out.
