The Canesten Thrush Pessary is designed to provide effective relief by directly treating the cause of vaginal thrush. Its active ingredient, Clotrimazole 500mg, is an antifungal agent that works to stop the growth of the yeast responsible for the infection.
For optimal performance and relief, follow these steps:
Preparation: Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling the pessary.
Insertion Time: The pessary is best inserted into the vagina preferably at night, just before going to bed. This allows the pessary to work while you are lying down, minimizing any potential leakage.
Using the Applicator: The pack includes a specially designed applicator. Follow the instructions provided with the applicator to ensure correct and hygienic insertion deep into the vagina.
Post-Insertion: After insertion, dispose of the applicator safely and wash your hands again.
You should expect to feel relief from symptoms like itching, soreness, and discharge as the medication takes effect. For most, a single dose is sufficient. If, however, your symptoms do not improve within a few days or persist for more than 7 days, it's essential to consult your doctor.
Using the Canesten Thrush Pessary is straightforward thanks to the included applicator.

Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before unwrapping the pessary and preparing the applicator.
Prepare Applicator: Follow the diagrams and instructions on the applicator to load the pessary correctly.
