4.2 Posology and method of administration
The vaginal tablets should be inserted into the vagina, as high as possible, using the applicator provided.
This is best achieved when lying back with legs bent up.
There is no separate dosage schedule for the elderly.
Canesten V needs moisture in the vagina in order to dissolve completely, otherwise undissolved pieces of the vaginal tablet might crumble out of the vagina. Pieces of undissolved vaginal tablet may be noticed by women who experience vaginal dryness. To help prevent this it is important that the vaginal tablet is inserted as high as possible into the vagina at bedtime.
One vaginal tablet should be inserted daily (preferably at night) for three consecutive days. A second treatment may be carried out if necessary.
Generally:
•   If symptoms persist for more than 7 days the patient may have a medical condition that requires treatment by a doctor.
•   The treatments can be repeated if necessary however recurrent infections may indicate an underlying medical cause, including diabetes or HIV infections. Patients should seek medical advice if symptoms return within 2 months.
•   Since the vagina and vulva are usually both affected, a combination treatment (treatment of both of these areas) should be performed.
•   Treatment during the menstrual period should not be performed due to the risk of the vaginal tablet being washed out by the menstrual flow. The treatment should be finished before the onset of menstruation.
•   If the labia and adjacent areas are simultaneously infected, local treatment with an external cream should also be given. The sexual partner should also undergo local treatment if symptoms, e.g. pruritus, inflammation, etc. are present.
•   Do not use tampons, intravaginal douches, spermicides or other vaginal products while using this product.
•   Vaginal intercourse should be avoided in case of vaginal infection and while using this product because the partner could become infected and the effectiveness and safety of latex products such as condoms and diaphragms may be reduced.
