The oral capsule form of the medication allows for quick and easy treatment, as it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream for fast-acting relief. Canesten Oral Capsule is an effective option for those looking to treat fungal infections, and it can be taken with or without food. As with any medication, it is important to follow the instructions of a healthcare professional when using Canesten Oral Capsule.
