Canesten

[Lhdale]

Quick Q - is it alright to use the canesten pessary and cream whilst pregnant?

the midwife gave me a non branded pessary on Monday with the same drug as canesten (clotrimazole) which i used so i assume it is okay but as the canesten leaflet says do not use if you’re pregnant I thought I’d double check !

My midwife said it’s fine but don’t use the applicator xx

Yep. I have had awful thrush on and off in this third trimester and got Canesten from the GP. Tbh it helped a little but the actual pessary, oh my god what a god send! Said just to apply it with my fingers rather than applicator. That was 2 weeks ago and this is the longest I’ve got without any thrush symptoms since
