4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Canesten 200mg Pessaries are recommended for the treatment of candidal
vaginitis.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
The pessaries should be inserted into the vagina, as high as possible,
using the applicator provided. This is
best achieved when lying back with legs bent up.
Adults:
One pessary should be inserted daily (preferably at night) for three
consecutive days. A second treatment
may be carried out if necessary.
There is no separate dosage schedule for the elderly.
Canesten pessaries need moisture in the vagina in order to dissolve
completely, otherwise undissolved
pieces of the pessary might crumble out of the vagina. Pieces of
undissolved pessary may be noticed by
women who experience vaginal dryness. To help prevent this it is
important that the pessary is inserted as
high as possible in to the vagina at bedtime.
Generally:
treatment during the menstrual period should not be performed due to
the risk of the pessary being
washed out by the menstrual flow. The treatment should be finished
before the onset of menstruation.
Do not use tampons, intravaginal douches, spermicides or other vaginal
products while using this product.
