Fenza Cream (Clotrimazole) – Antifungal Treatment for Vaginal Infections

Fenza Cream is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the vagina, including vaginal thrush (candidiasis). It contains Clotrimazole, which works by destroying the fungal cell membrane, effectively stopping fungal growth. This cream is for external vaginal use only and should be applied as directed by your doctor. For best results, use it at bedtime and complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve earlier. Proper hygiene—washing hands before and after application—is essential to prevent reinfection. Avoid using condoms or diaphragms during treatment, as the Cream may damage them.
