About Canesten

Our mission is to free people from the discomfort of intimate, skin and foot conditions - because we believe that nothing should stop you from living your life as you want it, comfortably and confidently.

Canesten has a history of innovation, and exists to bring you effective, science-based products and equip you with meaningful knowledge so that you can feel in control of your intimate, skin and foot health.  

Chemical structure of clotrimazole

Science is in our DNA

Bayer have been pioneering in the intimate health world since the 1960s, when a Bayer researcher achieved the breakthrough development of clotrimazole, an active anti-fungal ingredient. A few years later, Clotrimazole was registered as a new ingredient in Germany and launched under the Canesten brand name. We were the first to launch the original clotrimazole product, which is not only effective at treating fungal infections, but also tackles its root cause. Since then we have been creating a variety of products to deliver this effective ingredient in different formats so that everyone can find a solution that best suits their needs.

To date we have conducted numerous clinical studies and use a variety of methods to ensure our products are well tolerated and effective. But our story does not end here…

Continually designing and improving high class products that work.

Canesten is all about giving you comfort and confidence! And that’s the reason why much of what we do relies on your confidence in us. Using more than 40 years of scientific knowledge, research and clinical expertise, we continue to be restless to design and deliver products that help you to diagnose, treat and prevent intimate health, skin & foot conditions. We’re constantly striving to improve our products and make them even better by investing in research which has led us to continue to develop new products over the years - something we think our original team of pioneers would be thoroughly proud of.

The Ada symptom assessment tool is a medical device registered in the European Union. Registration in other markets is pending. The Canesten website is not a registered medical device.
By opting to start the assessment, you will leave the Canesten website and enter the Ada symptom assessment tool.
Within the Ada symptom assessment tool, you will be asked a series of questions about your health and symptoms to help Ada generate a symptom assessment report.
Once this assessment report is generated, you will have the option to download it from the Ada symptom assessment tool. Bayer has no access to your personal data or assessment report. Ada is solely responsible for handling your personal data in accordance with their Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
If your assessment indicates a possible women’s intimate health condition - such as thrush, BV or cystitis - you will be given further options: find out more about these possible causes, find a local pharmacist and find out about Canesten products. At this time, you will be navigated back to the Canesten website and your Ada journey will end. Bayer is solely responsible for all content on the Canesten website.

Should your symptoms persist, get worse or if additional symptoms are noticed, please immediately seek professional medical attention.
Please speak to your healthcare professional if:

  • you are at all unsure about your symptoms or have any questions
  • you have never had thrush before and you think you might have it

If your healthcare professional has informed you of a diagnosis already, please follow their instructions carefully.
