General
Using the applicator
The applicator supplied with this package should be used to ensure proper placement of the vaginal cream high in the vagina, preferably at bedtime, where it will provide the most benefit. To use the applicator:
- Remove unit B from package. Insert plunger A into the barrel of applicator B.
- Detach red tip C with a twist motion.
Inserting the medication
Canesten® Cream 1 (pre-filled applicator) is inserted into the vagina in much the same way as a tampon. Stand, squat, or lie on your back in a ComforTAB®le position. Insert the pre-filled applicator into the vagina as far as it will ComforTAB®ly go. Holding the barrel of the applicator steady, gently depress the plunger until it stops. This will release the medication high in the vagina where it will be most effective. Remove the applicator.
Disposing of the applicator
The Canesten® vaginal applicator is recyclable where facilities exist.
