This pessary (also known as a “vaginal tablet”) contains Clotrimazole which belongs to a group of medicines called anti-fungals, which act to treat infections caused by fungi. It can be used to treat thrush (vaginal candidiasis).

Thrush is a common infection caused by a yeast (or fungus), which may live harmlessly in the vagina without you even noticing it. However, in certain circumstances, it may develop into an infection in the vagina and symptoms may spread to the surrounding area.

These symptoms may include one or more of the following:

• Itching of the vagina and surrounding area (the vulva)
• Redness and swelling of the tissues of the vagina and vulva
• Soreness of the vagina and vulva
• A white non-smelling discharge from the vagina

Thrush may be aggravated by sexual intercourse, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease. Sometimes however, thrush can be passed to your partner through sexual intercourse. If your partner has penile thrush he may have one or more of the following symptoms:

1. Soreness and redness of the penis
2. Tightness of the foreskin
3. A white non-smelling penile discharge

You can help the treatment to work if you follow these simple self-help tips:

• Although the infected area will itch, do not scratch as this will damage the surface of the skin and cause the infection to spread further
• Keep the affected areas of skin clean
• Pay particular attention to drying the skin but avoid excessive rubbing

To help prevent thrush from coming back once you have treated it, follow these simple steps:

• Wash daily
• Wear cotton underwear and loose fitting clothing
• Try to avoid wearing tights, nylon underwear and tight fitting clothing
• After going to the toilet, wipe yourself from the front to the back, as a thrush infection may be transferred from the bowel
• Try to avoid washing with perfumed soaps or using vaginal deodorants
• Do not rub hard with sponges or flannels and avoid hot baths with strong perfumed oils
• Change your sanitary protection regularly
