Overview

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Canesten GYN 100mg Vaginal Tablet should be inserted into the vagina as far as comfortably possible, usually at night before sleeping, using the applicator provided with the product. Wash your hands before and after insertion, and continue with any other measures advised by your doctor, such as avoiding tight-fitting or non-breathable underwear during treatment.

Dosage

The typical regimen prescribed for Canesten GYN 100mg Vaginal Tablet is one tablet inserted into the vagina once daily for six consecutive nights, or as otherwise directed by the prescribing doctor based on the severity of the infection. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve after the first few doses, to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Side Effects

  • Mild skin irritation
  • Redness or itching at the application site
  • Burning or stinging sensation
  • Peeling or blistering of the skin
  • Unusual vaginal discharge (with vaginal formulations)

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to clotrimazole or any other imidazole antifungal, or to any component of the tablet
  • Should not be self-diagnosed if this is your first episode of vaginal symptoms, or if symptoms differ from a previously diagnosed pattern, without a doctor’s assessment
  • Not recommended for use during menstruation; treatment is generally best completed between periods
  • Caution advised during pregnancy — a doctor’s assessment is needed to confirm suitability and the appropriate insertion method

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Vaginal clotrimazole preparations may weaken latex condoms and diaphragms, reducing their effectiveness as contraception or for prevention of sexually transmitted infections, for a period after use
  • Avoid using other vaginal products, such as douches or spermicides, at the same time without medical advice
  • No significant food interactions are expected with vaginal use
  • Inform your doctor of any other vaginal or systemic antifungal treatments you are using

Quick Tips

  • Insert the tablet at night before sleeping to allow it to remain in place for longer
  • Complete the full 6-night course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier
  • Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear during treatment and avoid tight synthetic fabrics
  • Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, or use alternative contraception, as clotrimazole may weaken latex condoms
  • Return to your doctor if symptoms do not improve within 7 days, recur shortly after treatment, or if you experience unusual symptoms such as fever or pelvic pain

Relevant Information

Because vaginal symptoms can have several causes besides candidiasis, including bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections, DoctorOnCall requires an online consultation before dispensing Canesten GYN 100mg Vaginal Tablet so a doctor can help confirm the diagnosis is consistent with thrush and monitor response to treatment. Doctor follow-up is particularly important if this is a first episode, if symptoms recur frequently, or if you are pregnant.
