Suitable for women aged 16-60, it contains the active ingredient clotrimazole, an antifungal agent that fights the cause of infections such as vaginal thrush.
Women who suffer from recurrent attacks of thrush can also apply the cream to their male partner's penis, even if he has no symptoms of thrush, to reduce the frequency of attacks.
Canesten Thrush Combi Soft Gel Pessary & External Cream must only be used if you have been previously diagnosed by your doctor as having vaginal thrush.

Directions
Soft Gel Pessary
Unless directed otherwise by your doctor, the Soft Gel Pessary should be inserted 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.

Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press.
Unless directed otherwise by your doctor, the Soft Gel Pessary should be inserted 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.
- Remove the applicator from the packaging. Pull out the plunger A until it stops. Remove the pessary from the foil blister pack and place firmly into the applicator B.
- Fix the Soft Gel Pessary firmly into the designated holder of the applicator B, by a light twist. The pessary fits tightly into the applicator.
- 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 pessary is deposited into the vagina.
- 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.
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, 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.
- Male Sexual Partner: Apply the cream to the end of the penis 2 or 3 times a day for up to two weeks.
