Canesten vaginal tablets
Canesten vaginal tablets, marketed by Medinova AG, are a well-established treatment in the antifungal vaginal health segment. The drug's key strength lies in its strong market presence, supported by a key composition patent that remains in effect until 2028. The primary risk to Canesten's market position is the potential increase in competition as the patent approaches expiration.
