Canesten Pessary (Clotrimazole) 500mg Pessary

Unless otherwise ordered by your doctor, put the pessary as high as possible into the vagina, preferably before going to bed, for convenient and comfortable treatment.

Wash your hands before touching the applicator and the foil blister pack, and then again after using it. 

1. Remove the applicator from its packing and pull off the plunger (with the red lock attached).
2. Remove the pessary from the foil blister pack and insert it into the open end of the applicator, curved edge down. Plunge the plunger into the applicator until you hear a click.
3. Remove the lock from the plunger once you've felt the click.
4. Carefully put the applicator into the vagina as deep as is comfortable (this is easiest when resting on your back with your knees bent up) up to the patterned grip zone. Maintain the applicator in the patterned grip zone. To dispense the vaginal pessary, carefully push the plunger all the way down until it stops.
5. Take out the applicator. Place the applicator in a secure location that is out of reach of children.
