1. WHAT IS CANESTEN® COMBI AND WHAT
IS IT USED FOR?
Canesten Combi Soft Gel Pessary & External Cream is a full course of
treatment for vaginal thrush (candidiasis) because it treats both the
internal
cause and external symptoms.
Some women suffer from recurrent attacks of thrush. To reduce the
frequency of these attacks, the sexual partner’s penis can be
treated with this
cream to prevent re-infection, even if they have no symptoms of
thrush.
The active substance in Canesten Combi Soft Gel Pessary & External
Cream
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.
2. BEFORE YOU USE CANESTEN® COMBI
DO NOT USE CANESTEN® COMBI SOFT GEL PESSARY & EXTERNAL CREAM:
•
If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to clotrimazole or any of the
other
ingredients, including cetostearyl alcohol, of Canesten Combi Soft Gel
Pessary & External Cream _(see Section 6. Further Information)_.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SOME OF THE INGREDIENTS:
The cream contains cetostearyl alcohol which may cause local skin
irritation
(e.g. rash, itching or redness).
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
As with other creams and pessaries, this product may reduce the
effectiveness

should be used as an adjunct to treatment
of candidal vaginitis. It can also be used for treatment of the sexual
partner's penis to prevent re-infection.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Adults:
One 500mg soft gel pessary should be inserted at night. Using the
applicator provided, the soft
gel pessary should be inserted as high as possible into the vagina.
This is best achieved when
lying back with legs bent up. A second treatment may be carried out if
necessary.
Generally:
Treatment during the menstrual period should not be performed due to
the risk of the soft gel 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.
The cream should be thinly applied to the vulva and surrounding area,
two or three times daily and rubbed
in gently.
Treatment with the cream should be continued until symptoms of the
infection disappear. However, if
after concomitant treatment of the vaginitis, the symptoms do not
improve within seven days, the patient
should consult a physician.
