A member asked:

I am on day 3 of augmentum. i am getting a vaginal thrust infection. can i use canesten cream?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: 39 year old woman with thrush on broad spectrum antibiotics. Yes you can, its a good choice. How long is the course of augmentin? The shorter the better from thrush point of view. Do you have diabetes? If so extra good control is needed.
