The single-dose soft gel pessary is easy to insert and removes the thrush infection effectively. The kit also includes a tube of double strength thrush cream, which can be used topically to relieve symptoms like irritation and pain. The cream should be applied twice or three times per day until the symptoms are entirely gone.
Canesten Soft Gel Pessaries should be inserted at night. Using the applicator provided, the soft gel pessary should be inserted as high as possible into the vagina.
This is easiest when lying back with legs bent up.
A second treatment may be carried out if necessary.
