CVS Miconazole 3-Day Combo Vagl

Generic Name: MICONAZOLE NITRATE CREAM - VAGINAL
Pronounced: (mye-KON-a-zole NYE-trate)

CVS Miconazole 3-Day Combo Vagl Uses

This medication is used to treat vaginal yeast infections. Miconazole 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.

How To Use CVS Miconazole 3-Day Combo 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. This medication comes with an applicator (either prefilled or disposable). Follow the package instructions on how to fill the disposable applicator with the cream. Lie on your back with your knees toward your chest. Insert one applicator full of cream 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. If you have itching/burning around the outside of the vagina (vulva), you should also apply some cream to that area. After use, discard the applicator and wash your hands.

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.
