KadeFungin 3 is available as a vaginal cream and vaginal tablets. The ‘3’ in the name indicates that the treatment is completed within three days.
KadeFungin 3 is available over the counter at pharmacies.
How can you tell if you have vaginal yeast infection?
Vaginal yeast infection can cause itching, burning, increased odourless, crumbly discharge and redness in the intimate area. Vaginal thrush often develops when the vaginal flora becomes unbalanced. This may be triggered by factors such as antibiotics, hormonal fluctuations or a weakened immune system.
KadeFungin 3 for vaginal thrush:
products and differences
KadeFungin 3 provides rapid relief from vaginal thrush. The KadeFungin 3 Combi-Pack (KadeFungin 3 Kombi-Packung) has been the no. 1* in pharmacy sales for over 20 years.
KadeFungin 3 Combi-Pack
The combi-pack contains both vaginal tablets and vaginal cream.
- Use: for three consecutive days, insert one tablet into the vagina at bedtime using the enclosed applicator. Additionally, apply the cream to the external genital area three times daily using a finger.

KadeFungin 3 Vaginal Cream
- Use: apply the cream once daily with one of the included disposable applicators, preferably before bed, for three consecutive days.

KadeFungin 3 Vaginal Tablets
- Use: Use the vaginal tablets as described above.
- Advantages: KadeFungin 3 Vaginal Tablets are especially suitable when the infection is limited to the internal genital area.

What makes KadeFungin 3 so effective in treating vaginal thrush?
KadeFungin 3 features a high-dose vaginal cream with 2% clotrimazole, enabling a short, three-day treatment.
- Active substance
KadeFungin 3 contains clotrimazole, a proven broad-spectrum antifungal agent effective against various fungi, including Candida albicans, the most common cause of vaginal thrush.
- Treatment duration
KadeFungin 3, available as a vaginal tablet and a high-dose vaginal cream with 2% clotrimazole, provides rapid three-day treatment. Vaginal creams with a lower clotrimazole concentration typically require a longer treatment period. However, as the symptoms are often barely noticeable after just a few days, there is a risk of premature treatment discontinuation. This may leave residual yeasts that are not fully eliminated, potentially causing re-infection. KadeFungin 3 minimises this risk with its short yet thorough treatment duration.
- Pharmaceutical form
KadeFungin 3 is available as vaginal tablets and vaginal cream. Simultaneous treatment of the vagina and external genital area (vulva) is strongly recommended, as both areas are typically affected. KadeFungin 3 Combi-Pack (KadeFungin 3 Kombi-Packung) has proven to be effective for this purpose. This effective treatment is complete after three days.
- Availability
KadeFungin 3 is available over the counter in pharmacies, allowing treatment to begin promptly.
The effective 3-day treatment for vaginal yeast infection
The recommended duration of treatment with KadeFungin 3 is three days.
Important note: please do not discontinue treatment prematurely! Even if symptoms such as itching and burning improve, continue treatment for the full three days. This ensures the infection is fully cleared, allowing you to feel well again as soon as possible.
Do not extend treatment beyond the recommended duration. If symptoms persist after three days, consult a doctor. Another type of fungus or a different underlying cause may be responsible for your symptoms.
Important considerations for using KadeFungin 3
Depending on the product, KadeFungin 3 is designed for use on the external genital area (vulva) and/or inside the vagina.
Use during menstruation:
It is recommended to avoid starting treatment during menstruation. If menstruation begins during treatment, discontinue use and repeat the 3-day treatment afterwards.
Use in pregnancy:
KadeFungin 3 can be used to treat vaginal thrush during pregnancy. However, treatment during pregnancy should only be undertaken after consulting a doctor. In addition, during pregnancy, the vaginal tablet should be inserted into the vagina without the applicator.
KadeFungin 3 is available over the counter at pharmacies
KadeFungin 3 is available over the counter at pharmacies, allowing you to start treatment immediately. If no improvement is observed after three days, it is recommended to consult a doctor. You may be advised to extend your treatment or receive a different medication if an alternative cause for your symptoms is identified.
FAQs
Sexual intercourse is possible during treatment with KadeFungin 3, but it is not recommended. Simultaneous use with latex condoms is also not recommended, as their safety and effectiveness may be compromised. The inflamed vaginal skin is sensitive due to the fungal infection, which can lead to pain, swelling and redness. In addition, the pathogen can be transmitted to your partner and multiply again under favourable conditions. It is important to know that the causative yeast is present in the saliva of many individuals and can be transmitted through oral sex. To prevent reinfection with vaginal thrush, your partner should also be examined by a doctor if symptoms develop and receive treatment if necessary.
Treatment with the KadeFungin 3 Combo Pack is carried out over three consecutive days. For optimal effectiveness, insert the vaginal tablet as deeply as possible into the vagina in the evening before going to bed. Lying down after application is advisable to ensure sufficient contact time of the active ingredient with the vaginal lining. Apply the cream three times daily to the affected areas of the external genitals. If necessary, the 3-day treatment can be repeated if advised by a doctor.
KadeFungin 3 has no specific age restrictions. However, vaginal yeast infection is uncommon in children, as sufficient oestrogen levels to support infection typically develop only at puberty. A paediatrician should be consulted if a genital infection is suspected in a child.
After menopause, lower oestrogen levels make vaginal yeast infection less likely. If a fungal infection occurs, it is often due to Candida glabrata, which is less responsive to clotrimazole. Such cases require a different antifungal medicine. Itching and burning symptoms may also arise from oestrogen deficiency. In such cases, treatment with local oestrogens may be administered. If prescribing oestrogens is not an option, symptoms can be alleviated with a moisturising gel containing hyaluronic acid.
Clotrimazole is an over-the-counter medicine from the group of antifungals. It is used for the local treatment of various fungal infections of the skin. Clotrimazole has proven highly effective for years in treating vaginal thrush, offering excellent efficacy against Candida albicans, the primary cause of these infections, along with good tolerability. Clotrimazole inhibits the vaginal thrush-causing pathogen’s ability to produce ergosterol, an essential component of its cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the integrity of the cell membrane weakens. As a result, the yeast cell loses vital components, can no longer reproduce, and eventually dies. Clotrimazole is available in various pharmaceutical forms, including creams and vaginal tablets, offering a versatile treatment for vaginal thrush.
Shelf life and storage
KadeFungin 3 should ideally be stored in its original packaging at room temperature, protected from heat, light and moisture. Keep the product out of the reach of children. Before use, check the expiration date on the packaging and avoid using the product if it has expired. Proper storage helps maintain the product’s effectiveness until its expiration date.
