The Pessary:
| FOR VAGINAL USE ONLY |
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 handling the applicator and the foil blister pack and again afterwards when you have used the applicator.
1. Remove the applicator from the packaging and pull out the plunger and red lock from the applicator body.
2. Remove the pessary from the foil blister pack and place into the open end of the applicator body with the curved edge of the pessary facing down. Push the plunger and
lock into the applicator body until you feel a click.
3. Once you have felt the click, remove the lock from the plunger and carefully insert the applicator as deep as is comfortable into the vagina (this is easiest when lying on your back with your knees bent up) up to the patterned grip zone, without pressing on the
plunger.
4. Hold the applicator body at the patterned grip zone and slowly push the plunger all the way until it stops, so that the pessary is deposited into the vagina. Remove the applicator. After use, dispose of the applicator and red lock 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 because it is quite common to notice a white chalky residue after using the pessary. This does not mean that the treatment has not worked.
However, if you notice pieces of undissolved pessary, speak to your doctor or a pharmacist, as the treatment may not have worked properly.
The Cream:
Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press.
Women:
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.
Treating your sexual partner:
If your sexual partner is treated with this cream, the cream should be applied to the end of the penis 2 or 3 times a day for up to two weeks. 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 two months you should see your doctor
