Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Please don't worry at all. If you have taken one pessary orally by mistake, it is not going to harm you in any ways but shall dissolve and the drug shall be absorbed anyways.
Please use the remaining pessaries daily at night just before going to sleep so that there is no walking and the pessary anti fungal medication can remain is local contact for a longer period of time.
I hope we are talking about vaginal candidiasis here and not vulval candidiasis, as in that case a local anti fungal cream should also be prescribed and a single tat dose of TAB FLUCONAZOLE 150mg should also be taken orally.
You may call your physician and speak to her/him to clear it further.
