How to use Canesten 1% Cream

Canesten 1% Cream is for external use only.

For conditions like athlete’s foot and ringworm, treatment should be continued for at least one month. Thrush will require at least two weeks of treatment.

If you are using Canesten cream to treat athlete’s foot, you should ensure your feet are washed and properly dried prior to use (especially between the toes). It may help to use an antifungal dusting powder in conjunction with the Canesten cream. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend a suitable product.

Prior to use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and pressing down.
Canesten should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected skin 2-3 times daily. A strip of cream (approximately half a cm long) is enough to treat a hand-sized area.

After commencement of treatment, your symptoms should improve within a few days. Although the redness and scaling can sometimes take longer to disappear. If symptoms persist, consult with your doctor or pharmacist. Continue with your treatment for 1 week after your symptoms have disappeared.
