Canesten V6 Tablet 6's

Your doctor may recommend this medicine to help manage the following conditions:

• Vaginal yeast infections (vaginal candidiasis): It directly targets and clears the overgrowth of yeast cells in the vagina, rapidly resolving symptoms like itching, redness, soreness, and thick, white discharge.
• Recurrent vaginal thrush: For women who suffer from repeated yeast infections, it can be used under medical supervision to manage and clear active flare-ups.

When taken consistently as directed, this medicine may provide the following physiological benefits:

• Relieves symptoms at the site of infection: Delivers the medicine directly to the vagina to help relieve itching, burning, soreness, and abnormal vaginal discharge caused by a yeast infection.
• Acts locally: Works mainly at the site of infection, so only a small amount is absorbed into the bloodstream, reducing the likelihood of whole-body side effects.
• Helps clear the infection: Stops the growth of the fungus causing the infection, allowing the affected tissues to heal.
• Convenient to use: The vaginal tablet is designed to dissolve inside the vagina, providing treatment directly where it is needed.

• Check the label for directions before use.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before and after inserting Canesten V6 Tablet.
• Pull out plunger A until it stops. Place one vaginal tablet into the applicator B. Insert the applicator carefully into the vagina, as deep as possible. Push plunger A until it stops. Remove the applicator from the vagina.
• Wash the applicator after each use in warm, soapy water and dry completely.
• For vaginal insertion only. Not for oral use.
• During pregnancy, the vaginal tablet should be inserted without using an applicator.

• Wear breathable underwear: Choose loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight synthetic clothing to help keep the vaginal area dry.
• Avoid irritating products: Do not use vaginal douches, scented soaps, bubble baths, or feminine hygiene sprays, as they can disturb the natural vaginal balance.
• Maintain good hygiene: Always wipe from front to back after using the toilet to help prevent the spread of bacteria or yeast.
• Change damp clothing: Change out of wet swimsuits or sweaty workout clothes as soon as possible to reduce moisture around the vaginal area.
• Eat a balanced diet: Limiting sugary and highly processed foods may help support overall vaginal health, especially if you are prone to recurrent yeast infections.

• Avoid other vaginal products: Do not use tampons, vaginal douches, spermicides, or other vaginal products unless advised by your doctor, as they may affect the treatment.
• Avoid sexual intercourse: Avoid vaginal intercourse during treatment to help prevent irritation and reduce the risk of passing the infection to your partner.
• Check before use: Do not use the vaginal tablet if the blister pack is damaged or if the tablet is discoloured or broken.
• Use alternative contraception: This medicine may weaken latex condoms and diaphragms, making them less effective. Use a non-latex contraceptive method or avoid sexual intercourse during treatment and for the period recommended in the product information.
• Complete the full course: Continue using this medicine for the full treatment period prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve earlier, to help prevent the infection from returning.
