ZAZOLE Vagl Uses

How To Use ZAZOLE Vagl
Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your
pharmacist. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any
questions.
If you are pregnant, follow your doctor's instructions on how to
use the applicator to insert this medication.
Use the medication once daily, usually at bedtime or as directed
by your doctor. Wash your hands before using the medication. If
using the cream, use the applicator. If using the suppository, you
may use either the applicator or your finger to insert it. Unwrap
the suppository before use. Follow the package instructions on how
to fill the applicator with the cream or with a suppository. Lie on
your back with your knees toward your chest. Insert one applicator
full of cream or a suppository into the vagina as far as it will
comfortably go. Slowly press the plunger of the applicator all the
way down to apply the cream or release the suppository. If you have
itching/burning around the outside of the vagina (vulva), you
should also apply some cream to that area. Take the applicator
apart, wash in lukewarm, soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Wash your
hands after use.
Continue to use this medication every day for the full time
prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a few days or if your
menstrual period starts. Stopping the medication too soon may allow
the yeast infection to return. Do not use tampons or douches while
using this medication. Unscented sanitary napkins may be used for
your menstrual period or to protect your clothing from leakage of
the medication.
Inform your doctor if your condition persists or returns 1 week
after completing the treatment.
