How to use Canesten 6 Day Pessary Thrush Treatment?
Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the foil blister pack and the applicator, and again afterwards when you have finished using the applicator.

To avoid the possibility of re-infection, strict personal hygiene must be observed.

Canesten
The pessary should preferably be inserted in the evening, just before bed time, with the
use of the applicator. Using it before you go to sleep will have the best effect. Insert one
pessary nightly for 6 consecutive nights.
Step 1: Remove the applicator from the packaging and pull out the plunger and red lock from the body of the applicator.

Step 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.

Step 3: Once you have felt the click,
remove the lock from the plunger and then
carefully insert the applicator as deep as is
comfortable into the vagina up to the
patterned grip zone. This is easiest when
lying on your back with your knees bent up.

Step 4: Hold the applicator body at the
patterned grip zone and slowly push the
plunger until it stops. This places the
pessary in the vagina.

Step 5: Remove the applicator from the
vagina.
If using the Canesten 6 day Pessary the
following further instructions apply:
Disassemble all the components for
cleaning and wash thoroughly for 30
seconds in warm (not boiling) soapy water,
rinse and wipe the parts carefully. Store it
in a clean and safe place. For re-use,
ensure the red lock is replaced on the
plunger and repeat the process from
Step 2.

The pessary needs moisture in the vagina to dissolve completely, otherwise undissolved
pieces of the pessary might crumble out of the vagina. To prevent this it is important to
insert the medication as deeply as possible into the vagina at bedtime. Should the
pessary not dissolve completely within one night the use of a vaginal cream should be
considered.
What is thrush?
Canesten
Vaginal thrush is a common infection caused by an overgrowth of the yeast Candida
albicans. This yeast lives naturally in the bowel and in small numbers in the vagina. It's
mostly harmless, but symptoms can develop if yeast numbers increase.

Canesten

6 main symptoms:

• Itching

• Swelling

• Redness

• Unusual discharge

• Burning

• Soreness

There are some common symptoms of thrush that are easy to spot and recognize. You
should remember that everyone is different, so yeast infection symptoms can vary and
can be mild, moderate or more complicated.
What are the risk factors of Thrush?
Yeast and bacteria are naturally present in your vagina. Thrush occurs when the level of
Candida albicans increases. There are times when you're more prone to thrush:
