Canesflor Vaginal Probiotics - 10 Capsules
Helps prevent thrush and bacterial vaginosis from recurring.
What are Canesflor Vaginal Probiotics Capsules?
Canesflor vaginal capsules are a convenient vaginal capsule that delivers probiotics, specifically the good bacteria lactobacilli, to the vagina. This helps restore the natural environment of your vagina and works to create a protective barrier over your vaginal walls, helping prevent thrush and bacterial vaginosis from recurring.
Many factors can disrupt the level of lactobacilli in the vagina including antibiotics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors (e.g. tight clothing, synthetic underwear, or washing with harsh soaps and shower gels in the intimate area) which can cause vaginal infections.
If you suffer from repeated vaginal infections (e.g. recurrent thrush or bacterial vaginosis), you can help to prevent the recurrence of the infection by using Canesflor as soon as you finish your appropriate medication.
