Therapeutic indications

Canesten Thrush Internal Cream is indicated for the treatment of candidal vaginitis.

Posology and method of administration

The cream should be administered intravaginally using the applicator supplied.

Adults

The contents of the filled applicator (5g) should be inserted as deeply as possible into the vagina, preferably at night. 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 cream 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.

Vaginal intercourse should be avoided in case of vaginal infection and while using this product because the partner could become infected.

Children

Not for use in children under 16.

Overdose

No risk of acute intoxication is seen as it is unlikely to occur following a single vaginal or dermal application of an overdose (application over a large area under conditions favourable to absorption) or inadvertent oral ingestion. There is no specific antidote.

However, in the event of accidental oral ingestion, routine measures such as gastric lavage should be performed only if clinical symptoms of overdose become apparent (e.g. dizziness, nausea or vomiting). Gastric lavage should be carried out only if the airway can be protected adequately.

Shelf life

Shelf life: 24 months.
