I am 20 years old female. Suffering from vulvovaginal candidiasis since 5 months. After all the required tests my dermatologist prescribed clotrimazole mycoadhesive vaginal pessaries to be inserted every night. I have used such pessaries before as well and never had a problem with it. But this one remains unabsorbed inside even after I ensure it's proper insertion with the applicator. By the time I have to insert the next pessary, it still remains unabsorbed in the tablet form and I have to take it out somehow in order to insert the next one. Why is it so and what should I do regarding this? I cannot keep inserting pessaries while previous ones remain there unabsorbed. Sometimes it even comes out as half absorbed itself. I have done this before many times and there is no lack on my part I am sure. I am also taking itraconazole and diflucan orally on prescription.

After you insert as last step at night for it to remain there for few hours, you need not bother what happens to pessary.
