How To Use Nystatin Vagl
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this medication. If you have any questions regarding the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
This product is for vaginal use. With clean hands, unwrap the tablet and place it in the applicator. Insert the applicator high into the vagina, usually once a day at bedtime or as directed by your doctor. If the applicator is reusable, follow the product instructions on how to clean it.
To prevent medication from leaking out of the vagina, lie down as soon as possible after use. You may use a sanitary napkin to prevent clothing stains. Do not use tampons while using this medication because they can decrease its effectiveness. In most cases, you should not use medicated douches during nystatin treatment. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use this medication at the same time each day.
Continue to use this medication for the full time prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a few days and even if you get your menstrual period. Stopping the medication too early may allow the fungus to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.
Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
