Antifungal pessaries

• ​Insert one pessary into your vagina every night, as deeply as possible.
• Some products only require a one-night dose. Whereas other products require you to insert a pessary for 3 to 6 nights. Complete the entire course.
• Do not stop using your medication without checking with your healthcare professional. Stopping too soon may cause the infection to come back.
• Avoid sexual intercourse during the period of treatment
• You may consider using a panty liner during the duration of treatment to absorb any discharge.
• Do not use tampons, intravaginal douches, spermicides or other products to be used in the vagina when you are using this medication.

​If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Then take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take two doses to make up for the missed dose. 

​Signs that you may require further medical attention include:

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Vaginal discharge which is either green, yellow, or with a fishy smell
• Have symptoms which differ from previous vaginal thrush infections
• Have had 4 or more cases of vaginal thrush within the last year
• Symptoms reappear after 2 months
• Previously had a sexually transmitted infection
• Have a weakened immune system
• Continue to have symptoms 3 days after your last dose of the medication

If you experience any of these symptoms, you should stop your medication and see your healthcare professional immediately.
