Fluconazole & Clotrimazole

Indicated in vaginal thrush: Most women experience vaginal thrush at some point during their lives. Thrush is the common name given to a vaginal yeast infection. Vaginal yeast infections are caused by a yeast called Candida albicans. Harmless yeasts are often found in the vagina, but in some women, Candida albicans multiplies rapidly and causes problems. It produces irritating substances that are discharged in the normal secretions, and this causes inflammation to the sensitive skin around the vaginal opening. It is this irritation that is often the first sign of thrush. However, some factors can cause an upset in the chemical balance inside the vagina and an overgrowth of yeast, factors such as antibiotics, hormonal changes (during pregnancy, menstruation, menopause), diabetes, the contraceptive pill, wearing tight clothing, using perfumed soaps, bath additives and vaginal deodorants. When the level of yeast become too high, thrush develops.
