Brief Answer:
Canesten pill is antifungal drug

Detailed Answer:

Hello dear,
welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand your concern.

Canesten pill is an antifungal drug.It is used in case of yeast infections of vagina,skin and mouth.
It can be taken either orally or vaginally.

People who are allergic to it might develop hypersensitivity reactions.

Usually there are minimal side effects for this drug about <1% like itching,burning,redness ,fever,pain abdomen etc.

In some individuals this drug might alter the levels of medication which are taken for other ailments which are called drug interactions.

As you have taken single dose it might not cause any problem.But in case of above mentioned conditions kindly see the physician for further evaluation.

I would like to know what type of regular medication you are taking on daily basis.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards...
