Canesten Combi 1 Day ComforTAB + External cream

Components:

1. Canesten ComforTAB (or applicator with cream): This delivers a high dose of clotrimazole (typically 500mg) directly into the vagina using a disposable applicator (or pre-filled applicator depending on the version) to fight the internal fungal infection.

2. Canesten External Cream (1% Clotrimazole): This cream soothes the itching and burning caused by the yeast infection on the vulva (external vaginal area).

Benefits:

• Fast and Convenient: Offers a one-day treatment option compared to Canesten creams requiring multiple applications over several days.
• Comprehensive Relief: Addresses both the internal infection and external discomfort for complete relief.
• Over-the-Counter (OTC): Typically available over-the-counter in many countries, allowing easier access without a prescription.

Directions:

1. 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.

2. 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.
   • While the internal treatment is just for one day, you can use the Canesten External Cream for up to 7 days for ongoing symptom relief.
   • 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.
