You can use the cream or a pessary but not the oral tablets in pregnancy. I had to ask for them in a Spanish chemist last week

I had this AWFUL with my youngest, so bad . The peasary was amazing, plus some cream. Cleared it right up! Canestan I think it was

Don't know if you have already bought some but ask for their own brand of canesten, itll be a bit cheaper and exactly the same! And just be wary if you say you're pregnant they may not serve you (I work in pharmacy)
