Hi,

This cream has 2 active ingredients - anti-fungal, corticosteroid and hence, it is effective against any fungal infection as well as also effective against symptoms of local redness, swelling, itching and irritation etc. More or less, it is a safe drug, when used to vagina. This cream can be used on the outside of vagina and to inner side as well. However, due to presence of steroid, it should not be used in a thick layer or large amounts to avoid the unwanted side effects of steroid.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
