Canesten Vaginal Tablet 100mg x6 (6-Day Therapy)

Canesten Vaginal Tablet (often called Canesten V6 in Nigeria) is a trusted treatment for vaginal thrush, a condition locally referred to as a "toilet infection." This 6-day therapy pack contains six 100mg clotrimazole pessaries designed for deep vaginal insertion to eliminate the fungal infection at its source.

How Canesten 6-Day Therapy Works

The active ingredient, Clotrimazole, is a broad-spectrum antifungal. It works by disrupting the cell membranes of the fungi causing the infection. Unlike single-dose treatments, the 6-day regimen provides a steady release of medication over nearly a week, ensuring thorough treatment and reducing the risk of recurrence. It effectively relieves symptoms like itching, burning sensations, and unusual vaginal discharge.

How to Use Canesten Vaginal Tablets

For the best results, one tablet should be inserted as high as possible into the vagina every evening before bed for six consecutive days. The package includes a convenient applicator to make insertion easy and hygienic. It is recommended to use the treatment even if symptoms disappear before the sixth day. Optimal insertion is achieved when lying back with the legs slightly drawn up.

Precautions and Safety

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before using Canesten. While generally safe, some users may experience mild irritation or a burning feeling (often called "peppery" sensation) upon insertion. If symptoms persist after completing the 6-day course, seek medical advice. Do not swallow the tablets as they are for vaginal use only.
