I finished my three day treatment canesten insert tablet and it still stings a little. Normally I take the 6 day cream... What should I do?

Question

Do I just continue with the cream that comes with the tablets and it should pass? Or do I use a new treatment? Or doctor? Thank you very much! Yes indeed the the tomorrow I had nothing left. .

Hello! All Canesten treatments are equally effective regardless of the length of the treatment. Shorter treatments are more concentrated in active ingredient while longer treatments are less concentrated. So they amount to the same thing. So your 3-day treatment should work just as well as the 6-day treatment. These treatments usually start to work in 1 to 3 days, and vaginitis usually resolves in a few days. So, if you see that you still have symptoms in 1-2 days, you should see a doctor at that time because the treatment will not have worked. When the treatment doesn't work, the doctor will assess if it really is vaginitis and if so, he or she may prescribe a more intense treatment. I hope this answers your questions!
