CompareCompareCanesten Thrush Combi Soft Gel Pessary & External Cream is a complete treatment for vaginal thrush because it treats both the internal cause and external symptoms.
Only use this product if you have been previously diagnosed by your doctor as having vaginal thrush.
The active substance in Canesten Thrush Combi is clotrimazole.
Clotrimazole belongs to a group of medicines called azoles and is an antifungal agent which fights the cause of infections such as vaginal thrush.
Canesten Thrush Combi is a complete, effective 2-step treatment. It treats both the cause and the symptoms of thrush.
This Canesten Thrush Combi Soft Gel Pessary & External Cream thrush treatment includes an easy-to-insert vaginal soft gel pessary to clear the infection and a double strength external cream to calm the six main symptoms of itching, burning, unusual discharge, swelling, redness and soreness for complete treatment of thrush.
Vaginal thrush (candidiasis) is a common infection that most women suffer from at some time in their lives and is not caused by lack of personal hygiene.
Thrush is caused by a yeast (fungus) called Candida which lives harmlessly in the vagina and other parts of the body, without you even noticing it. However, the natural balance that keeps Candida under control can be upset by many factors such as hormonal changes (menstruation, contraceptive pill, pregnancy, menopause), poor health, antibiotics, perfumed soaps, bath additives and tight clothing.
If the natural pH balance is altered, the level of yeast increases and can develop into a thrush infection causing any of the following symptoms: persistent burning and/or itching around the vagina and vulva, redness, swelling and soreness of
the tissues of the vagina and vulva and a whitish, odourless discharge from the vagina. Not everybody who has thrush has all these symptoms; you may have only one of them.
6 main thrush symptoms:
Itching
Swelling
Redness
Unusual discharge
Burning
Soreness
Thrush doesn’t usually change the pH level and has no odour.
If you are still worried or have any questions about the symptoms or the treatment of thrush, do not hesitate to ask your doctor or Dock pharmacist for advice
Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Canesten Thrush Combi Soft Gel Pessary & External Cream without speaking to a doctor or Dock Pharmacy pharmacist

HOW TO USE CANESTEN® THRUSH
COMBI
If Canesten Thrush Combi has been prescribed for you by your doctor,
follow any instructions he/she may have given you. If you purchased this
product without a prescription, follow these directions closely.
The Soft Gel Pessary:
The applicator should be used to insert the pessary as high as possible into
the vagina, preferably before going to sleep at night for convenient and
comfortable treatment.
Wash your hands before removing the foil from the blister pack and again afterwards when you have used the applicator.
1. Remove the applicator from the packaging. Pull out the plunger A until it stops. Remove the pessary from the foil blister pack and place firmly into the applicator B
2. Fix the Soft Gel Pessary firmly into the designated holder of the
applicator B, by a light twist. The pessary fits tightly into the applicator.
3. Carefully put the applicator as deep as is comfortable into the vagina (this is easiest when lying on your back with your knees bent up). Holding the applicator in place, slowly press the plunger until it stops so that the pessary is deposited into the vagina.
4. Remove the applicator. Dispose of the applicator in a safe place, out of the reach of children. The applicator cannot be flushed down the toilet.
Since the pessary dissolves in the vagina, it may be helpful to wear a panty liner.
The Cream:
Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the
tube and press.
To treat the itching and soreness of the vulva (vulvitis), the cream should be
thinly and evenly applied to the area around the entrance of the vagina, 2 or
3 times a day and smoothed in gently. Treatment should be continued until
the symptoms of the infection disappear.
The symptoms of thrush should disappear within three days of treatment. If no improvement is seen after seven days you must tell your doctor. If the infection returns after seven days you may use one further treatment, but if you have more than two infections within six months you should see your doctor.
The Soft Gel Pessary is for use in the vagina only.
The cream is for external use only:
Do not put the pessary or cream in your mouth or swallow them.
If the pessary or cream are swallowed accidentally, tell your doctor straight away or contact the Accident and Emergency Department of your nearest hospital
