DIRECTIONS FOR USE
If Canesten® 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 Vaginal Capsule:
The applicator should be used to insert the soft vaginal capsule 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 until it stops. Remove the soft vaginal capsule from the foil blister pack and place firmly into the
applicator.
2. Fix the soft vaginal capsule firmly into the designated holder of the applicator, by a light twist. The soft vaginal capsule 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 soft vaginal capsule 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 soft vaginal capsule dissolves in the vagina, it may be helpful to wear a panty liner.
The Cream
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. Treatment should be continued until symptoms of the infection .disappear.
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 six months you should see your doctor
