Canesten Vaginal Tablet Dosage/Direction for Use

The vaginal tablet should be inserted as deeply as possible into the vagina in the evening before going to bed. Insertion is best achieved when lying back with the legs slightly drawn up.
Clotrimazole vaginal tablets need moisture in the vagina to dissolve completely, otherwise undissolved pieces of the vaginal tablet might crumble out of the vagina. To prevent this it is important to insert the medication as deeply as possible into the vagina at bedtime. Should the vaginal tablet not dissolve completely within one night, the use of a vaginal cream should be considered.
For treatment of vaginal infections: 6-day treatment with Clotrimazole (Canesten) 100 mg: 1 vaginal tablet to be introduced each evening on 6 successive days.
Single dose treatment with Clotrimazole (Canesten) 500 mg: 1 vaginal tablet to be introduced in the evening.
Generally: If symptoms persist, the patient should consult a doctor.
The treatment can be repeated if necessary, however, recurrent infections may indicate an underlying medical cause.
Patient should seek medical advice if symptoms return within 2 months.
If the labia and adjacent areas are simultaneously infected, local treatment with an external cream should also be given in addition to the intravaginal treatment (combination treatment).
