Hey ladies last night my vagina was soo itchy and got really sore and red so my partner ran to the pharmacy this morning to get me some thrush cream I asked him to get Canesten however he got something else called clotrimazole 1% w/w cream do you think it would work the same as the Canesten? I have a antenatal care appointment with my midwife in couple days so I will ask her about it also I'm 14weeks pregnant by the way x

Yep, that is the active ingredient of canesten. Hope it helps OP, thrush is a ‘mare at the best of times

It’s just unbranded canestan. You can still use pessarys when pregnant.
