Vagistat Vagl
Generic Name: TIOCONAZOLE - VAGINAL
Pronounced: (tie-oh-CON-uh-zole)
Vagistat Vagl Uses
This medication is used to treat vaginal yeast infections.
Tioconazole ointment reduces vaginal burning, itching, and discharge that may
occur with this condition. This medication is an azole antifungal. It works by
stopping the growth of yeast (fungus) that causes the
infection.
If you have fever, chills, flu-like symptoms,
stomach/abdominal pain, or a bad-smelling vaginal discharge, do not use this
medication. Contact your doctor immediately because these may be signs of a
more serious infection.
How To Use Vagistat Vagl
Read the Patient Information Leaflet that comes with this
product. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any
questions.
Use the medication 1 time only, usually at bedtime or as
directed by your doctor. Wash your hands before using the medication. Use the
medication applicator supplied. Follow the package instructions on how to fill
the applicator with the ointment. Lie on your back with your knees toward your
chest. Insert one applicator full of the ointment into the vagina as far as it
will comfortably go. Slowly press the plunger of the applicator all the way
down to apply the medication. If you have itching/burning around the outside of
the vagina (vulva), you should also apply some medication to that area. Discard
the applicator. Wash your hands after use.
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to
treatment.
Do not use tampons, douches, spermicides, or other vaginal
products while using this medication. Unscented sanitary napkins may be used
for your menstrual period or to protect your clothing from leakage of the
medication.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists for 3 days
after completing the treatment, or returns 1 week after.
