FAQ: How does the oral capsule in CanesOral Duo work?

The oral fluconazole capsule is an antifungal medication that is absorbed into the bloodstream and reaches the site of vaginal Candida infection from the inside. Fluconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol - an essential component of the Candida cell membrane - causing the fungal cells to die. A single oral dose of fluconazole 150mg is clinically proven to be effective for uncomplicated vaginal thrush.

FAQ: When should I see a doctor rather than using CanesOral Duo?

Self-treatment with CanesOral Duo is appropriate for women over 16 with typical uncomplicated vaginal thrush symptoms who have had thrush diagnosed before. See your doctor if: symptoms do not improve after treatment, this is your first episode of thrush, you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you have had more than 2 episodes in 6 months, or you have unusual discharge, odour or pelvic pain. Our pharmacist can help determine whether self-treatment is appropriate for your situation.

FAQ: Can I use CanesOral Duo while taking other medications?

Fluconazole interacts with several medications including warfarin, certain statins and other antifungals. Always advise our pharmacist of all current medications before purchasing CanesOral Duo. As a pharmacist only medicine, our team will assess suitability and potential interactions before supply.
