Can I use Canesten????

[LupinsBigLump]

Hi

I went to sainsburys but was told they arent allowed to recommend it but that doent mean its not safe "ehhhh??"- I know you cant use the combi stuff but is the normal cream ok - am only itch on the outside

I did when I was pregnant and was told by the pharmacist in Boots it was fine to use externally for the itch but not internally

I was given both the cream and the pesseries (by the hospital) when I was heavily pg with DS2, so I'd hope it was fine

pessaries are fine. i was given them at the antenatal clinc when i was pregnant.

I too used cream & pessary, prescribed by dr and mw when I was preg with ds2, also had to use both again after his birth (I was breastfeeding too).

Thanks all - off to chemists this afternoon

Hi Lupins, you can use the cream and the pessary for definate.... Not the combi pill though. I used it all through with dd and had about 6 pessarys at times it was really bad. I sympathise with you it is a nightmare, so far I'm holding back, not sure how though? Normally a pg sufferer. xx

Thanks FSF, I only get it when pg - last time midwide wrote a prescription - but needed it NOWWWW lol!! Just been to local chemist and lady there knows I am pg and she didnt say anything just handed it over - yipeeeee relief will be mine - now just need to start sleeping, get rid of backache, sort out dp, ahhh if only everything could be cured by cream in a tube lol
