Description
What is Canesten Thrush Pessary?
Canesten Thrush Pessary is a treatment for vaginal thrush, a common yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of candida fungus. It contains the active ingredient clotrimazole, an antifungal agent that targets the infection directly. Vaginal thrush can cause symptoms such as itching, thick white discharge, and pain during urination or sex.
How does Canesten Thrush Pessary work?
Clotrimazole, the active ingredient in Canesten Thrush Pessary, works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, causing the fungal cells to leak and die, which helps to clear the infection.
How long does the treatment take to work?
Typically, thrush symptoms should improve within three days of using the pessary. If the symptoms persist for longer than a week, it’s important to consult your doctor.
How do I use Canesten Thrush Pessary?
- Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
- Insert the pessary into the included applicator.
- Gently insert the applicator into the vagina, as deep as comfortable, and release the pessary.
- Remove the applicator and dispose of it.
- It is recommended to use the pessary at night, just before bed.
Can I use Canesten Thrush Pessary with Canesten External Cream?
Yes, you can use Canesten Thrush Pessary alongside Canesten External Cream. While the pessary works internally to treat the infection, the cream can be applied externally to relieve irritation and itching.
