title: [Clinical experiences with clotrimazole in treating vaginal candidiasis].
abstract: The results of a clinical trial using Clotrimazole (Canesten) vaginal pessaries in the treatment of mycologically confirmed cases of vaginal candidiasis are presented. Treatment schedule consisted in the application of vaginal pessaries each containing 100 mg Clotramizole at bedtime on 6 successive days. In 68 patients who adhered to the treatment schedule and completed the observation and follow-up periods an overall cure-rate of 78.4% was recorded. There were no adverse reactions. Treatment schedules would vary from case to case and in instances of reinfection a repeated course of treatment is recommended.
