Candid V6 Pessaries are vaginal tablets containing clotrimazole and are used to treat vaginal fungal infections, especially vaginal candidiasis caused by Candida species. 

Uses:

• Treatment of vaginal candidiasis (yeast infections), which can cause symptoms like vaginal itching, burning, abnormal discharge, and irritation.

How to Use:

1. Preparation:

   • Wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling the pessary.
   • Find a comfortable position ( lying on your back with knees bent or standing with one leg raised).

2. Insert the pessary:

   • Insert 1 pessary deep into the vagina daily, preferably at bedtime. This ensures the medication stays in place and works effectively overnight.
   • Use the applicator provided  for easier and deeper insertion. If you're pregnant, consult your doctor first, as you may be advised to insert the pessary manually.

3. Treatment schedule:

   • Insert 1 pessary daily for 6 consecutive days, even if symptoms improve before completing the treatment.

Precautions:

• During menstruation: Avoid starting the treatment during your period; begin the course after your period ends.
• Sexual activity: Refrain from sexual intercourse during the treatment to prevent irritation and spreading the infection.
• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before use, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The use of the applicator might not be recommended in pregnancy.
• Allergy: Do not use if you are allergic to clotrimazole or any of the other ingredients.

Side Effects:

• Mild side effects may include:
  • Burning or irritation in the vaginal area.
  • Vaginal discomfort or itching during use.
• Rare side effects:
  • Rash, swelling, or severe allergic reactions. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if these occur.
