Can I take canesten canesbalance 7 day treatment over the counter? Or do I need to see a doctor to get antibiotics?

Hello,

The Canestan treatment is used to treat yeast vaginitis (fungal germ) and your symptoms suggest that it is something else. A foul odor does indeed look like bacterial vaginosis. You need to be evaluated by a health care professional such as a doctor to make the right diagnosis and receive treatment accordingly. If it is Bacterial Vaginosis, you will need a prescription-only antibiotic treatment.

I hope this answers your question. My team and I are available to answer your questions by phone or in branch as well

Have a nice day and we look forward to hearing from you,

Maude Smith-Bujold, pharmacist owner
