This medicine comes with patient instructions.

The cream or ointment comes in a tube.

Remove the cap from the end of the tube of cream or ointment.
- Squeeze the medicine from the tube into the open end of the applicator until the barrel is filled with medicine.
If you are using the vaginal tablet or suppository, unwrap the medicine and place it in the applicator as directed.
- You may wet the suppository with warm water or a water soluble lubricating gel (K-Y® Jelly).
- You should not use petroleum jelly (Vaseline®).
Put the applicator into the vagina (like you would a tampon) as far as you can and push the plunger all the way in.
- Remove the applicator and wash it with warm soapy water.
If you are using the medicated tampon, leave the tampon in your vagina overnight and remove it in the morning.
Wear only clean cotton underwear (panties) instead of nylon or rayon underwear.
- The medicine will come out of your vagina, so wear a minipad or sanitary napkin to protect your clothing.
