Canesten Combi 1 day

Canesten Combi 1 Day is a complete treatment for vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis) offered by Canesten. It combines two medications in one package to address both the internal infection and external symptoms in a single day:

Components:

1. Canesten ComforTAB (or applicator with cream): This delivers a single, high dose of clotrimazole (typically 500mg) directly into the vagina to fight the fungal infection.

2. Canesten External Cream (1% Clotrimazole): This cream provides relief from external itching and burning associated with the yeast infection.

Benefits:

• Single-Dose Convenience: This offers a very quick and convenient treatment compared to other Canesten clotrimazole creams that require multiple applications over several days.
• Dual Action: It addresses both the internal infection and external discomfort for comprehensive relief in just one day.
• Over-the-Counter Availability: Canesten Combi 1 Day is typically available over-the-counter in many countries, allowing for easier access without a prescription.

Directions:

• Canesten ComforTAB/Applicator:
  • Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
  • Follow the instructions provided with the product for using the applicator to insert the ComforTAB (or apply cream using the applicator) high into the vagina, preferably before bedtime.
  • Use only one ComforTAB (or applicator-full of cream) for the entire treatment.
• Canesten External Cream:
  • Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly.
  • Apply a thin layer of the cream to the itchy and burning areas around the vagina.
  • Gently rub it in.
  • You can use the Canesten External Cream for up to 7 days for ongoing symptom relief, even after completing the 1-day internal treatment.
  • Wash your hands after applying the cream.

Possible Side Effects:

Canesten Combi 1 Day is generally well-tolerated, but some mild side effects can occur, including:

• Burning sensation in the vagina
• Itching in the vagina
• Vulvar irritation

These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a short period. However, consult your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.

Warnings and Precautions:

• Do not use Canesten Combi 1 Day if you are allergic to clotrimazole or any other ingredients in the product.
• If you experience severe vaginal burning, irritation, or worsening of symptoms, discontinue use and consult your doctor. There could be another underlying cause for your symptoms.
• Consult your doctor before using Canesten Combi 1 Day if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or suspect you might be pregnant.
• It's generally recommended to avoid sexual intercourse or use a condom while using Canesten Combi 1 Day, as your partner can potentially contract the yeast infection.

• While Canesten Combi 1 Day is available over-the-counter, it's always best to discuss your symptoms with a doctor, especially if you experience recurrent yeast infections or if this is your first time experiencing symptoms.
• Follow the instructions carefully for both the ComforTAB/applicator and the external cream.
• If your symptoms don't improve within a day or two of using Canesten Combi 1 Day, or if they worsen, consult your doctor.
