Overview

Candid V1 500mg Vaginal Tablet is a tablet with Clotrimazole 500mg declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 1s.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

Candid V1 500mg Vaginal Tablet should be used only after an online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor confirms it is appropriate. The tablet is inserted high into the vagina, usually at bedtime, using the applicator supplied in the pack; hands should be washed before and after insertion. It is generally recommended to remain lying down for a few minutes after insertion to reduce leakage, and a panty liner may be used to protect clothing, as some discharge of the tablet base is normal over the following day or two.

Dosage

The standard dose is a single 500mg vaginal tablet inserted once, as this formulation is designed to deliver a complete course of treatment in one application. The doctor consulted through DoctorOnCall will confirm whether this single-dose regimen is suitable or whether a different course, dosage form, or additional oral antifungal treatment is more appropriate based on the individual’s symptoms and medical history.

Shelf Life

Candid V1 500mg Vaginal Tablet is generally stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and left unopened; the specific expiry date is printed on the pack. The tablet should not be used past its expiry date, as its effectiveness cannot be guaranteed and the product may have degraded.

Storage Instructions

Store Candid V1 500mg Vaginal Tablet at room temperature, below 30 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the tablet and applicator in their original packaging until ready for use, and store out of reach and sight of children.

Drug / Food Interactions

Relevant Information

Candid V1 500mg Vaginal Tablet is positioned as a single-application treatment for uncomplicated vaginal yeast infections, but DoctorOnCall requires an online consultation before dispensing to ensure the diagnosis is accurate and to rule out other causes of vaginal symptoms that may need different treatment. This is a deliberate safeguard for customers in Malaysia and Singapore, even though similar single-dose clotrimazole products are available without a prescription in some other countries. Recurrent or persistent symptoms should always be discussed with a doctor rather than repeatedly self-treating.
