Canesten Soft Gel Pessary Combi

Canesten® Soft Gel Pessary Combi is a complete dual-action treatment for vaginal thrush, designed to treat both the internal infection and external symptoms in one convenient pack.

The pack contains:

• One soft gel pessary for internal treatment
• External clotrimazole cream to relieve itching, redness and soreness around the vulval area

The soft gel pessary contains clotrimazole, a clinically proven antifungal medicine that treats Candida yeast, the most common cause of thrush. The pessary dissolves smoothly inside the vagina, releasing the medicine directly at the site of infection, while the external cream helps soothe uncomfortable symptoms.

Key features:

• Complete thrush treatment in one pack
• Soft gel pessary for comfortable internal use
• External cream relieves itching and irritation
• Clinically proven clotrimazole antifungal treatment
• Suitable for adults aged 16–60 years

• Insert one pessary high into the vagina, preferably at bedtime.
• This is a single-dose treatment.

External cream:

• Apply a thin layer to the affected external area.
• Use 2–3 times daily until symptoms improve.
• Continue external use for up to 7 days, if required.

Wash hands before and after use. The cream is for external use only.

• If symptoms do not improve within 7 days, or if they worsen, seek advice from a pharmacist or GP.
