The internal cream is recommended for the treatment of candidal vaginitis.
The external cream is recommended for the treatment of candidal vulvitis. It should be used as an adjunct to treatment of candidal vaginitis.
These products should only be used if candidal vulvovaginitis (thrush) was previously diagnosed by a doctor.
Adults
The internal cream should be administered intravaginally using the applicator supplied. The contents of the filled applicator (5g) should be inserted as deeply as possible into the vagina, preferably at night.
The external cream should be thinly applied to the vulva and surrounding area, two or three times daily and rubbed in gently.
Treatment with the external cream should be continued until symptoms of the infection disappear. However, if after concomitant treatment of the vaginitis, the symptoms do not improve within seven days, the patient should consult a physician.
Generally:
Treatment during the menstrual period should be avoided due to the risk of the cream being washed out by the menstrual flow. The treatment should be finished before the onset of menstruation.
Do not use tampons, intravaginal douches, spermicides or other vaginal products while using this product.
Vaginal intercourse should be avoided in case of vaginal infection and while using this product because the partner could become infected.
